Hi Kris

One of the men in the church came over and took me out to breakfast.  We ended up going to a place over in SeaTac called, The Pancake Chef.  Many decades ago, I knew the guy whom had started this business and had worked with his daughter, through the church youth program.  So, I was interested to find out whom was still there 35 years later!

Well, he retired, the daughter appears to run the place and the food was excellent!

"Hi Kris", said the perky voice of a waitress as she passed by.  Uhmmmmmmm ..... ?

We were seated and the perky waitress passed by again, "Hi Kris".

Once I was finally able to stop her, I explained about the complete loss of my memory and that she seemed to know me, but I had no clue whom she was!

"Am I supposed to know you?", I asked.

She laughed and explained that she heard Dave say my name when we came in and that no, I was not expected to know her.

We had a great laugh over that one!  Whew!  I had no idea whom she was, still do not!, but it was weird having someone know your name when you are so utterly clueless.

The next day, we went to Claim Jumpers, in Tukwila and the waitress also knew me!  I have no idea how or why - she even knew my favorite drink (ice tea, no lemon) and that I needed a pitcher because I would put that amount away!  But, I did not want to go through the whole - who are you routine again!  So, just let it slide.  Unfortunately, it is now midnight as I type this and I am totally strung out on caffeine because of her!

At least, I do know all of the entire staff at my favorite Mexican cantina - and they me.  Even to the point of letting me know they did not approve when I came in with the lady from the concert, I knew from decades ago!  They really did not think she was quite what I needed in my life!  Oh gosh, I was laughing so hard on the inside!  Very protective of me.  Well, in a way I am extended family - I know their hometowns, often talking about what is new in Jalisco or Chihuahua and I love their food.  And they are good people :)
