The Sugar Shack

Today is a day off so I took myself for breakfast at one of my usual spots. Normally we just go on the weekends to see our favorite (and only) waitress Annie. The place is always packed as they have just 8 or 9 tables. The service can be spotty since Annie, who has a dry sense of humor, handles everything from dishes to waiting tables. But its all a part of the atmosphere and patrons traditionally take turns serving coffee to everyone if Annie gets held up. They don't take credit cards, just cash or check and they are very close to our house. In traditional diner style, there are records hung everywhere and in the winter, space heaters near the large window seats. Adults are encouraged to color. Its charming in a divey sort of way and it always makes me happy to decorate with catsup. This is my ham and cheese omelette with hash browns and and an english muffin.
