The Most Important Meal of the Day

Saturday, November 20^th (Early Morning)

Morning ablutions, last-minute cramming of items in our suitcases, tossing the linens and towels in the washer/dryer and a final cleanup of la casa flotante. 

We had decided the night before to meet Sister Frances for breakfast before we left.  (Sister Jan elected to stay home.) 

We met at another local St. Bernard establishment, Penny’s Café.  It’s one of the town's hangouts, judging the comings and goings of the locals.  We obviously stuck out – Sister said that there aren’t many pale-skinned bald men in the parish.  None of us selected the crawfish omelette. 

After a lovely conversation rehashing over the week, it was time to go.  But not before insisting that Sister visit Chicago so that we could return the hospitality.
