THE DINER
Just as first constructed–chrome, Formica, pale shades of mauve and gray accented with darker maroon on the counter stools and the trim of the booths. Juke boxes still at each booth. Although not working, they still have the song- lists of more than 50 years ago.
If you want a big meal or a light snack it's available from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. every day.
Three o'clock in the afternoon is a quiet time to come. Coffee and maybe a pastry, my notebook, a book to read, and a picture window view of the village's main street are there waiting.
connecting the past
a heavy mug of coffee
to warm my hands

__In my home-town, that "Diner" as I remember, has been there since before I was 10 years old, and THAT was 70 YEARS ago... .
__Counting drips by that -counter- His-story. Smiles! _m
