Helping Out

Okay so I woke up at Patti's this morning, had a muffin and went back to bed. Last night we all watched Take Me Home Tonight and it was funny. Anyways, so Grams took me by suprise when she pulled up at Bumu's and told me to hop in. I thought it was Monday not Tuesday. So I quickly changed in to a cute blue flowered top but I had to keep the shorts. I went to help out at the church, the one that burned. I helped with the food, beverages, setting up and comforting the people. It was a funeral. I thought it would be really depressing but it actually felt great. Like I was doing a good deed and giving comfort to people who had been feeling horrible the past couple of days or weeks. I also helped out with the flower arrangements and got to bring home a cute bundle.
After a couple of hours Grams and I went to Oshawa hospital and visited two different people on both floors 5 and 6 each room 61. One was a different name but she was getting a test done so we sat and talked to the woman's daughter for a few minutes and then went up a floor to go see Bob who also wasn't there. So we left the flowers on his table for him. He's going to be out of the hospital and the other woman is doing amazing, so great that she is getting out of the hospital today; probally already has. We could find no parking spots though. Seriously by the time we found one parking spot we were on floor 4. We must of had bad luck or something because when we left there were over five parking spots on every floor exept for the main floor.
We then went to Westcoast Cafe. We shared a yummy warm dessert and both had teas. Mine was peppermint. The reason I even took pictures and notes is for my Dad. He really wants to do a fancy, big restaurant. But we all know that it is not a good decision for several reasons- The price, no experience and hard work. We are all trying to convince him to stick with the cafe idea. BTW the name my dad picked also wasn't the best. It was like Edgewood or Ridgewood or something. So the notes I got were free wi-fi. There are a lot of people who feel comfy enough to bring their laptop and do work related to school or work. Umm I love the modern look and dark wood. The restaurant symbol too (ex. Starbucks symbol.) A different lighting approach. Beverages like Starbucks, Second Cup or Westcoast Cafe. Like teas, coffees, lattes, hot chocolate, etc. Smoothies too, especially in the summer. Gourmet Sandwiches. Baked goods- cupcakes, congo bars, cupcakes, muffins, breads. plenty of selections. Homemade soups. Salads. Yogurt machine. Kawartha Lakes ice cream. Amazing artwork that matches the place. For example Westcoast Cafe has a beautiful leaver collage type thing. When I say collage several paintings attached. Young, friendly, kind, smart people to help out. I have plenty more notes but I'm going to stick with that.
Now I'm going to Patti's and watching Combat Hospital. :)
