Back in a booth

I like it.

Quiet.

Slice of pie, 

 and a cup.

No explanations.

Smile for the lady who stops by.

 You can see she is tired.

I sip my cup,

 and eat my pie.

Sometimes nice to be " alone" in a busy place. I'm a great one for people watching, can sit for hours drinking coffee and staring.

I used to live in a college town. Low on money, so you would walk. Kill some time before you headed home. You wind up having some fun stories. I still remember escorting a couple of ladies through the byways to dodge a protest!

[Gee]

Hmmm, now my mind is racing, obviously thinking the worst :)

Back in the early Bush years. Protests in a college town. I even walked into it. The thing was there were two ladies a little further down the street. They were just trying to meet up with their grandkids. Side street took them to where they were going.

A good Samaritan, or doing what's right. Not many folk put themselves out to help anybody nowadays, all to self consumed and in a rush to get somewhere to do notjing

a slice of pie and a cup of coffee,a quiet booth with no distractions,maybe even read a good book.

[Jon Roggie]

It is nice. I would even read comic books at the bar.

Sitting in a restaurant alone can be peaceful. Soothing. We don't always need the chatter.

[Jon Roggie]

Odd hours add to the mix.

Wasn't sure what booths are coming from the UK, are they vendors booths? Anyway Jon, there is satisfaction in your words. Simple things give the most pleasure. That pie and a cup and a smile especially for that tired lady passing, are all good. Hope you are ok

This is a fun part of talking to people in different parts of the world. In this case, the booth is a table in a restaurant. Somehow people think they have more privacy.

I really don't like to go to booths alone, and i don't usually. I can't remember the last time i went to a restaurant by myself, I suppose when you are a cook, it's nice when someone else does the cooking. it's especially nice that you smile at someone you know is tired.

[Jon Roggie]

I usually sit at the counter, or the bar. The workers usually recognize their own kind!

[Corset]

lol, it's probably the tell tale smell of cooking oil that gives it away.

[Jon Roggie]

I used to soak my uniforms for a day.

once you get splattered its hard to get out. I have a neighbor that is a catfish cook at a local, he complains about it , smells good to me lol..fried foods are the devil tho, but hushpuppies make me wanna bite them .
