Now that the girls are all grown up, we still get together, catch up with what everyone is doing, laugh, cry. It's great therapy and cheaper than seeing a real therapist.
Last Saturday, we met at Breakfast at Stephanie's, little, hole-in-the-wall breakfast place in Upton, Massachusetts. This was the second time we had breakfast here. The food is really good, the place popular. The only downside is the parking lot is the size of a postage stamp. I got the last parking spot at the restaurant. Since the Senior Center across the street was closed, my friends parked over there.
D. always gets pancakes so ordered plain, buttermilk pancakes. As you can see the 2 pancakes are the size of a dinner plate.
P. had the Vermont Breakfast Sandwich, bacon, egg, cheese on toasted sour dough bread
I had the Grand Slam, 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, and French toast along with a cup of tea and leftovers to take home. D and P had water.
We were catching up and nearly finished when D noticed that there was a long line of people waiting to be seated. So D invited us back to her house so we could finish conversations.
We had a fun time talking about trips taken, television programs, movies, and reminiscing about the girls, the school years, and the projects, especially the Roman Fair.
Yes, laughing and also crying is good! I remember Mum´s funeral. We did both. It was healing.
ReplyDeleteAs food. I am hungry now (lucky my soup is hot already).
Happy T-day!
We should put a warning on the T Day posts that you should eat before reading 😺
DeleteYum, pancakes!
ReplyDeleteand the perfect day for them.
DeleteYour choice of breakfast was the best.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Delicious!
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea for a catch up, the food looks so good and I am hungry! It's good to keep in touch with old friends. Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThey work together so it's nice to be included
DeleteSounds perfect to me! So nice to catch up with old friends and your breakfasts all look so yummy, it must have been lovely to chat and relax together 😁. Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteIt was really fun.
DeleteWhat a perfect way to visit with good friends-that feel like family. I can see why the restaurant is so popular the food plates all look delicious. Nice of you all to leave the table for the next person hugs Happy T Kathy
ReplyDeleteI'm glad D was able to invite us back to her house because an hour just wasn't enough time to spend with each other.
Deletethat worked out really nice
DeleteI am on my way to visit a friend like that up in New Mexico. Your breakfast looks delicious. Since it is first thing in the morning but 2 hours behind us at home I am hungry. 😀 happy t day Cj. Hugs Erika
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit.
Deletenothing like catching up with friends and enjoying a good meal along with it- yum! Happy T day!
ReplyDeletePerfect way to end the week.
DeleteIt's great to catch up with old friends like that. A friend I hadn't seen for 20 years surprised me with a visit a few days ago. We've kept in touch by email. But face to face is much more fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day! Eileen xx
Indeed
DeleteWe have a 'hole-in-the-wall' breakfast place here too! Haven't been in years but now I want to go and have pancakes! :D Glad you had a good catch-up!
ReplyDeleteGo and then you can blog all about the experience
DeleteNice that you have a breakfast club and what a yummy spread! Blessings
ReplyDelete😊
DeleteI found Breakfast at Stephanie's on the internet and think the prices are quite comparable to those here. Pancakes might be a bit more expensive there, but the other two are good.
ReplyDeleteLoved that you were able to catch up with your friends and read the Roman whine, too. Glad you got the A (grin).
Thanks for taking us to Breakfast at Stephanie's and sharing these meals and drinks with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
The pancakes served at Stephanie's aren't your average 4 in. diameter pancakes.
DeleteI'm glad I got the A, too 😺
I think the pancakes at Riverside Cafe are about 8 inches for 3. They are $4.99. Next time I go to Riverside, I'll order pancakes and bring my tape measure. Seriously. Add two eggs for an extra $1.50.
DeleteI want all of those breakfasts lol No wonder that place is so popular! Happy T Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteThere's even more with all sorts of varieties of stuffed French toast.
Deletearound noon, trout towne time, and I have an urge for breakfast food for lunch ~~~~~~~ ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteI had bacon and a blueberry mug pancake 😺
DeleteSo awesome that you and your long-time friends can get together still after all these years. I try to meet up with at least one of my old friends every couple of months or so, but it gets so difficult for us both with life's demands right now. The food looks delish - makes me hungry! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes the timing doesn't work. They had wanted to go out during their Christmas break, but I was in PA, but eventually it all evens out.
DeleteWhat delicious looking food! sounds like a grand time...and I did check out the Roman Fair story. Classic poor timing by a new teacher. But you made it through with some (great?) memories! lol! happy T day!
ReplyDeleteAnd good friends
DeleteThe food at this place looks delicious. It's nice to get together with friends to chat and reminisce. And you were correct about Teddy: he has severe cabin fever at this point, but it will be about a month more before it's warm enough for us to take any long walks anywhere. Happy belated T-Day!
ReplyDeleteNice, warm weather will be on us before we know it. Hang in there, Teddy
Deletesounds like a great day out! seeing friends from the past - always nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to hold onto the friendships you've made over the years. The breakfasts look delish.
ReplyDeleteGood food + good friends = Perfect Time
DeleteIt is good to get together with old friends- I meet up with friends that have known each other since our children were babies. It used to be every month but as we get older it has gone from 4 to 6 to sometimes every 8 weeks. We only meet up for a meal but e look forward to it! Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteSo nice to catch up / keep in touch with old friends.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
