Good Morning! Happy Tuesday wherever you are. 😀 I am in a very wet Central Minnesota having not had any coffee yet and wondering when did I suddenly get so unorganized. I actually woke up for the first time in about a year and realized that I almost forgot to post the morning meandering today.
GAH!
I love the morning meandering!
This past weekend, myself and my friend Wendy went to the cabin up North. Finland Minnesota. We arrived about 7:30 pm and after bringing all our items into the cabin, we drove down a few miles to a nearby restaurant.
Wendy had never been to the cabin with me before and I was telling her that the restaurant would give her a little bit of Finland culture. We went in, found a booth and ordered big delicious mushroom swiss burgers. We were enjoying our conversation when “WHUMP” a flannel covered man sat in my side of the booth.
Yup.
AND… not sitting there to talk to us, but with his back turned to us. He was talking tot the people who had the large table in the center of the room and paid us no mind at all. My eyes got big and I looked at Wendy as we could not believe what just happened. His large flannel shirt facing away….
We stifled our laughs, and Wendy said she wished she could have taken a picture of the look on my face. I am quite sure it was priceless. Eventually he turned and asked if we minded if he talked to his friends a few minutes, I said that was fine. He left about ten minutes later and well… I guess we have the funny memory.
Welcome to Finland.
Other than that moment, the weekend was pretty uneventful. I did a little writing and little reading. It was good.
This week already seems to have gotten away from me. Yesterday I was so busy all day that i hardly had time to visit the Monday What Are You Reading people. I hope to do more of that later today….
after work…
after workout….
Eventually.
Anyhoo – I will get back on my game here…. just fuzzy yet from sleep and I think the lack of coffee. 😀 Have a super day!

I now have this great visual image of a HUGE flannel back…and I’m slowly filling in the rest of the image…
Isn’t it great how the strange things that happen can turn into the most engaging stories?
Enjoy your coffee and your day!
Thanks Laurel 😀
that is so awkward! i was at a dim sum restaurant here in london with big round tables and there were six of us at a table for eight. they put a random first date couple in the empty two seats. we were all along for their horribly awkward first date–terrible! we apologized profusely and took their photos for them to make up.
the flannel shirt is what makes it art!
Oh my gosh Plumbean – that is hilarious and sad at the same time 😀
Yikes! Sounds like you definitely had an adventure! :p
Totally Hannah! 😀
Wow, what a hoot! Sounds like it was a good first experience for Wendy!
I think so Jo-Jo. I have had the funniest happenings at this restaurant – this is not the first time that I had to wonder if that seriously did just happen 😀
At least it was not a wet flannel man-or he did not take a bite from your plate.
LOL Esme. The waitress came out of the back looked at us and laughed… we just shrugged.
I wish your friend had taken a picture of the flannel man and your face. It really would be a picture.
It was just so awkward Vivienne… I wanted to just wait him out to go away…. and he did 🙂
Wow…sounds like you had a fun and interesting time! LOL. Yeah, that’s definitely one of those quirky memoires you’ll carry around for later…. ^_^
YUP Gina 😀
I thought for sure there was going to be a picture of the man in the flannel shirt, at the end of your post! Hey, every one is allowed to be a little unorganized now and then. 🙂
Oh Jill I wish there was but it was so odd even I didnt know if I wanted to capture the memory and I always want to capture the memory! 🙂
Ha ha! Yeah, that was kind of strange…but hey, it’s almost Halloween. 🙂
