I went for a late breakfast at Sunset Grill in Vaughan after my walk and planting some pots in the front.
It was one of the last places Adolph and I went for breakfast before we didn't anymore. Since yesterday was the anniversary of my wedding, it seemed fitting to go somewhere that reminded me of him.
May 16 1971 we are on a plane to Vancouver then another plane to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
I ordered my usual- French Connection- eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage and French toast.
So as I drank my coffee and later ate my food, I made some observations.
The two women in the table near me were former staff of Mackenzie Health where I had worked for 16 years before retirement. They have aged like I have. I did not say hi as I was not sure they would remember me.
A couple sitting together both playing on their cellphones and not talking. Eventually the man put his phone down but she was still on hers. I thought a married couple not relating. Not talking. Out for a breakfast together but not really together. As a widow, I wished I had my spouse to talk to me.
The table by the wall and front window had two older men, one with a Brtiish accent and the other was American. They were discussing weather as a Meteorologist would discuss weather. They were talking about prediction and forecasts. I think the one man might be Reid from the Anglo Celtic blog I follow. He had given a webinar on weather and family history a few months ago. He was also telling the man about how Pierre Polieve got his current seat in Parliament. If the man was Canadian he would have known the story.
Since I could see out the window, I observed some customers coming to the restaurant.
My waitress Anat was sweet and attentive.
My venture out solo was good. I was hesitant to go but I am trying to get out of my comfort zone and do more activities alone.
Sunset Grill has been a place where I have gone with Adolph, Father's day with the family and just random occasions.
It felt comfortable and I will go again.
Now my next goal is Montanas for dinner sometime.
Yes I can enjoy my own company.
