I love the Teehaus...

My friend and I went there for lunch today as we have on so many previous occasions. She is going through a real tough time right now and she was on the verge of tears when I picked her up at her office. I took her to the Teehaus. The troubled looks on our faces must have been noticable because they asked if everything was alright. We took a seat and nodded, but that wasn't enough.

Sandy sat down beside me and offered some very kind and inspirational words. Andy brought his usual charm and wit to the table each time he stopped by bringing with him on the last trip a brownie on the house "to make her feel better". Brownies do make everything better. By the time we left she was smiling and I think we even heard a fleeting chuckle.

When is the last time someone saw you troubled at a cafe table or anywhere and took the time to find out why? Oh sure, they may have said "How are you today?" and you may have said "oh, fine" and that would have been the end of it. They didn't really care how you were doing...it's just become something we ask. When was the last time YOU took the time to ask someone how they were because you really wanted to know?

I love my town and I love the Teehaus.
