A "Lovely Pizza"

(1/4) > >>

hillsbororiver:
On Wednesday I had the pleasure of visiting with Nelson and his family who are vacationing here in Florida from the U.K. (Essex), although he does not post often he has been very helpful to me over the years since I first joined in 2005.

Nelson, his wife and two sons and my wife and I went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant near my house, he has been blessed with a lovely and gracious wife and two very sharp, well mannered sons aged 16 & 5 who have inherited their father's gift of gab, it was fantastic having intelligent conversations with a teenager who showed no display of teen angst.

His younger son made our waitress's day when he momentarily excused himself from our table (after finishing off the "kid's pizza he had ordered) he approached her saying; "I want to thank you, that was a lovely pizza!"

The waitress came back to our table beaming and flushed she was so taken with that experience and the thanks that came her way that she had to tell us all what a little gentleman he was.

We came back to my house for coffee and I must say the time went too fast before it was time for them to head back to Orlando. I have had the pleasure of getting together with Gena and her husband and also with Craig and his family here and it always seems like I am visiting with old friends even though it might be the very first time we met in person.

His Peace to you all,

Joe

           Thankyou Joe for sharing that experience & visitation.

            It's nice hear an experience about well-mannered children, don't come across too many of them these days. I have yet had the pleasure to meet one of our Brothers and Sisters from this Site, in May, unless something changes, I'll be meeting John from Johnstown and eventually Randy from Albany.

            What a nice comment that 5 yr. old made(The Lovely pizza).

                                Your Brother, Samson.

Awesome

You are welcome Samson,

It was a great experience to interact with well mannered intelligent and engaging young ones, as you say it is rare and very refreshing. I have to say that Craig's children were also easy to talk to and very much free from the cloud of angst that seems to affect so many of our young ones these days.

Yes, the "lovely pizza" comment with perfect diction in that English accent was a real charmer for sure, the waitress was glowing, I think she appreciated that experience even more than the tip!

Peace to you Brother,

Joe

Moments like those ARE THE TIP. The tip can be spent but a touching memory is a treasure that can keep. I wonder what else God has in store for those children 8)

Thanks for sharing Joe. It felt like I was right there in that Italian Restaurant!

Peace to you

Arc.
