Happiness Downtown

Today I went to the main post office to drop off a garden catalogue for Audrey and Peter, my daughter and son-in-law, as they plan crops in the yard of their new home.

Moving on to Bill's Luncheonette, I was surprised to see a big crowd, including many families, enjoying breakfast. Many appeared to be of ethnic categories that may not have have grits and cheese or other selections on their native menues. I loved the blend and hoped all were having a happy Saturday morning, a break from their pasts and an embrace of new possibilities in food choices.

In the same vein, I am so happy to have a falafel sandwich place on Park Avenue at Hubblee Bubblee.

It is always a good thing to rethink one's choices. Are they based solely on habit or are there more aspects to consider?

I encourage my readers to look around and see what's new in Plainfield. Admittedly, by being a pedestrian, I have the advantage, but there are lots of clues for those who take the time to look.
