Post for a Dinner for Two at D&K Cafe

[Paula]

I'm still pulling for my mom and dad for the out of towners, but for locals, here goes:

SoWal Haiku:
Grayt dinner for two
No one more deserving than
Camp Creek Kid and Spouse (husband is too many syllables!)

Ps. I'll even babysit!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I had the same thought,
About CCK and Spouse, too

Why? For those of you who were on this board after past hurricanes, you may remember that CCK so kindly, quietly, and quickly checked on people's homes and provided lots of support, took photos, etc. At times when the board got a bit "challenging" and people would push each other's buttons, CCK was a great "psychologist" who kept people in line with good humor and thoughtful responses. CCK (and hubby) are active in the community and invested in the community. And CCK does all this with several young children and whenever I see her she projects a sea of calm! Perhaps because they live so near SoWal's lovely emerald sea of calm. :clap_1:

Of course, using similar criteria there are several people on this board who are deserving of a lovely D&K dinner. Kurt, SJ, and others were so helpful to people during and after the hurricanes and are also very committed to SoWal. I figured that because CCK does all this with several little ones at home at the same time, she deserves extra credit and should get the first D&K dinner for two!

I also think Kurt deserves a nice D&K dinner for two because he started this great online community and brought us all together. :clap_1:

Thanks!

But I prefer to pay for my meals and support locals. ;-)

Of course, Kurt! It's so very good to support locals and we have many very wonderful local businesses. Sometimes, it's also so very good to let locals celebrate each other and that's another way of showing support. Pleeeze let us have our fun expressing our appreciation to you - it makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Pleeze make room in your stomach,
And take free food from a local business if it comes to deserving you.


(I'm really so sorry about that...)

Prior to moving here, I lived in South Georgia. For the last 10 years that I lived there I made a special trip to a very special place on Christmas day with my 2 children. My children and I look for ways to make those who have very little feel special during the holidays. But the ones people never think of are the ones who can't speak for themselves. By that I mean all the precious dogs,puppies,cats and kittens at our local Humane Society who are looking for a loving family to adopt them. Those that were lucky enough to become gifts for the holidays were gone by Christmas. So every Christmas day, I would bundle up the kids and head out the door with arms full of warm blankets, chew toys, and homemade treats for all the little eager faces looking for love. It broke my heart to think about them being behind cage doors, but made us all feel so good to make them feel happy and loved on Chistmas day. After all, isn' t that what Christmas is all about?

This nearly broke my heart!

And a good reminder- when you are at the store buying stuff for food bank contributions, grab a few extras (paper towels, dog/cat food, cat litter, garbage bags) and drop them at your local animal shelter. Raid your linen closet for old towels. Some shelters have a need for newspapers too.

Sorry, thread hijack. Back to Christmas stories!

Thanks for this reminder. Will do!! But mr. dd will have to drop off, cause I would come home with some new family members--and he would file for divorce.
