We went to the beach for Thanksgiving and decided to have Thanksgiving dinner at Flannigan’s, a casual, sports bar, rather than go to a fancy place. Our table wasn’t ready so we sat at the bar with a drink. A young (to us) couple was sitting next to us, and I struck up a conversation with the man. The waitress told us our table was ready. While I was paying the bar bill, Aloma was seated in a booth right behind me. I paid the bill and started wandering around looking for her. She mentioned to the couple at the bar I went the wrong way - so the man went looking for me and guided me back to Aloma.
Then Aloma asked them to join us at our table and they accepted.
We learned they were from Lebanon, now living in Columbus, Ohio, ran a Jewish Deli and had two children in their twenties. Over twenty years ago, Joe opened the Deli and went back to Lebanon for a visit, met his wife-to-be and married her two weeks later. They were interesting and positive about life and this country. We had a great time with them. Oh, while they run a Jewish Deli, they’re not Jewish.
The Deli must be successful because they recently bought an oceanfront condo and were here to buy furnishings for it.
I forgot to mention, Thanksgiving dinner was delicious.
