Today I went to Jake's Place in Plymouth with the parentals. Jake's Place THE finest restaurant in Plymouth. I've tried quite a bit of the options on the menu. The best sandwich you can get is probably the french dip or the Jake Burger. If you try the Guinea Grinder, you'll have gas for the rest of the night. Dad and Ma can vouch for me.
Anyway, while we were up there, I saw one of the lunch ladies from my elementary school. And the visit just brought back a rush of memories for me. And it also made me think....the lunch lady. How we (as elementary and high school students) neglect the lunch lady. Everyday, they go into work at 4 or 5 in the morning, take a box full of (government regulated) food, and serve it to hundreds of starving children. Yet, they don't complain and at the same time watch children blossom into working adults whose tax dollars pay for that very box of food!
But Mavis was more than just a lunch lady. She was very caring and considerate. Like a grandmother-figure. And to this very day, I still get chills thinking about how she would yell "ROBERT! YOUR TOAST IS READY!"
Shout out to Bill K!
Thats it for me!
