Tim and I had breakfast this morning at Eileen's Cafe in downtown Valley City, Ohio. Small town USA to say the least!
The familiar waitress Donna, came over with a glass of water, and a Howard Hanna coffee mug for me and a Realty One coffee mug for Tim filled with hot steamy, flavorful coffee. Fresh and hot, just the way I like it!
"Goodmornings" were passed around, the owner Terry Jones stuck her head out of the kitchen to say "Hi." Order off the menu from the "special's before 9:00 a.m." makes it seem like such a "we are saving money and trying to help the economy at the same time" feeling. Like having breakfast with family.
Looking around the little restaurant, I see familiar faces, familiar community event notices , other peoples "special" coffee mugs on the rack, and just an all around feeling of warmth and comfort.
Two eggs over easy, grits prepared with milk, rye toast, a little pack of jelly, always the same order for me. Some things are best left unchanged! And others should be left unsaid!
Continuously in business serving the township's comfort since 1992!
Eileen's Cafe, should be left unchanged!

I love that small-town feeling too. It's nice to exchange greetings by name a the grocery store, the bank, and the corner store.
We're lucky!
