The other day, the Huff lunch club met. It was actually the Huff lunch club plus 3 minus 1 and one of the plusses was a teeny tiny sweet great grandson who slept in his stroller and paid us no never mind as we feasted and gabbed. How it is that I missed getting a photo of Devin, Meredith, and Marti is beyond me, but that's the honest truth. Stuff happens. It gave me the opportunity to go back and review lunch photos from the last few years, pick my favorites, and piece them all together. Like a quilt. A quilt of lunches.
Marti told us about a neighbor she had when she was a single working girl. His name was C.J. Doney and he was quite a character... one of the things he was most known for was "never issuing a noun without a God Damn before it". As in the "God Damn stools" at the Harvey Diner at the old Union station that were apparently quite uncomfortable if you had hemorrhoids. I'll say it again, it's a joy having someone bring history to life with tales of times gone by. She also introduced us to this little ditty as a commentary on our current run of hot days ... "we'll weather the weather whatever the weather whether we like it or not". I wish I would have gotten a video of her rendition, but you should know Marti has perfect pitch, along with all her other talents.
Lovely montage of special times with special friends!

I think you need at least one picture of lunch with the Huffs that includes you. Next time!
