Thankful Thursday - Bob Evans
Did I ever mention how much I love breakfast food? I pretty much live on the typical breakfast foods...eggs, toast, oatmeal, cereal, and lets not forget, cappuccino! What is not to like?! If someone were to ask me my favorite food, I would likely name one of these ordinary foods. I can't help that I am a very simple soul.
Being Thankful Thursday today, I will tell you that I am incredibly thankful for my local Bob Evans. Yes, the same one that I spoke of here a couple of weeks ago. I have been coming here since the week I moved to Ohio.
There are so many things that I love about Bob Evans. First of all, I am treated like an old friend from the moment that I walk through the door. The hostess, Carol, always has a smile on her face and seats me in a cozy booth. I love that welcoming feeling that I am always greeted with. I visit my friends at Bob Evans usually about once a week. I have become somewhat of a "regular" there. I always order the same thing...2 eggs over medium, wheat toast and an original cappuccino. I have a weakness for these cappuccinos and they offer free refills. It is absolutely sinful! I also always have the same server, Robert. I absolutely love this man. He is about as sweet as they come. I truly enjoy my conversations with him. He was even kind enough to let me take his picture this morning so that I could post it on my blog. I told you he was sweet!
My weekly visits for breakfast with myself, which is something that I had never done before I moved here, have helped in my transition to a new town. When I first moved and was feeling so very alone and isolated, it was my mom who encouraged me to get out and start my day by going to breakfast. I will say that it definitely made a difference in my days. As I got to know Robert and the others that work there, they became like old friends. They are always very genuine and caring when they ask how I am doing, and I needed to feel that from people. Growing up in the same town and living there my entire life, it is these little things that I never thought about because you knew everyone and they knew you. When I was plopped 5 &1/2 hours from all of my friends and family, I realized that when you don't know anyone and they don't know you...you feel so very alone.
Flash forward to today, I have been here, in southern Ohio, for almost five months now. I feel a little bit more at home as the days continue to pass so quickly. I really enjoy my weekly breakfast routine. I am able to visit with friendly people, eat a wonderful breakfast and now that they have Wi-Fi, I am able to do some of my blogging. I really look forward to these mornings. It has become a wonderful way to start my days.
So, for fantastic breakfasts, indulgent cappuccinos, and most importantly, friendly faces...I am thankful for Bob Evans.
