A report post vacation in Tennessee. Location:
Vittorino’s Cucina 111 North Main street suite B, Sweetwater, TN 37874
While reviewing my text messages, I ran across
this photo which Sherry took whilst I was busy drawing a Ukulele on a napkin
for waitress Brook.
You see, I almost always
ask the wait- staff what hobbies they may enjoy when not working. Waitresses at
the previous two restaurants replied that they were ukulele enthusiasts.
And so, engaging Brook, I
said “I suppose you play the ukulele when not working?”
Brook, with one eyebrow
raised and the other eye squinted ever so slightly, nonetheless smiling, said “Huh”?
as if my question was so irrelevant as to follow up out of sheer curiosity.
I then explained about
the previous two.
Chuckling, she said “No,
I am studying to become a Real Estate Broker.”
I agreed that such an
undertaking might prove a bit more profitable.
But, feeling sad that she
had no ukulele at all, I proceeded to draw one for her on a napkin that she may
find after our departure.
I suppose that many
sensible readers, perhaps most, would think it a bit of a stretch that she
valued my drawing of that ukulele sufficiently to have it framed and mounted in
a prominent place at her home.
But, I’m gonna assume
that I made such a favorable impression that in fact that napkin rests ever so
proudly in the pages of her Real Estate study materials as a means of
encouragement.
Well, at least, that is
truly what I would do if I received such an ephemeral gesture of humour!
Oh yes, the food was
great and I recommend the place!
Tell ‘em Mike sent you!
