Stranger Unaware
It was a lovely Spring morning, and the manager of the Waffle House was there early, cooking breakfast, in Camden Delaware. It was his job, along with other things, that comes with managing a restuarant like this. Many people think, a manager of a restuarant does paperwork and sits in his office just handling customer complaints and managing the employees. However, not at the Waffle House, they are expected to cook, and manage the employees, and do the other managerial duties of a manager. It was an ordinary morning, and he was pouring waffle batter, putting sausage and bacon on the grill, and the aroma filled the air, with the appetizing odors that draw customers in off the highway.

GRANDMA NELSON. Top Story - March 2026.
Daddy pulled off the interstate, and I saw the all familiar red barn, and I knew we had arrived at Grandma Nelson's farm. I always had mixed feelings about seeing my Grandmother. It seemed she had as many Grandchildren as the old Mother in the shoe nursery rhyme. I saw her as different, but that is not why I hestiated. The truth be known I always got in trouble at her house, and ended up sitting in the car after I had been scolded.

To Your Great Love
Hello, my name is Paula, and I am John's ex-wife. I don't know why I was invited, but I was. What did John and his new wife, Cathy expect me to say. Cheers to the way you always have treated your sons, and cheers to the way, you always made our sons, seem second fiddle to Cathy's daughter, Cindy. But this isn't about the children is it, it is about yourselves, and your great love. I trust that now that you have tied the knot officially, you will have the decency to send your child support here on time. Cheers!

To The Groom
For those who don't know me, I'm Carley, and this toast is for the groom, Matt, or should I call him the wedding specialist, God knows he's been at the Department of Marriage License Bureau enough times. According to the lady who works there, fourteen times to be exact. This toast is also for Nicole, someone who finally got him to the alter, my hat's off to you, or should I say, my garter belt. Matt, you should recognize it from when you took it off me, when we were together. "Many Happy Years Together, if you last that long. Anyway Cheers!"
