Coffee on the wall

I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighbouring town of Venice (Italy), the city of lights and water. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat at an empty table beside us. He called the waiter and placed his order saying, 'Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall.' We heard this order with rather interest and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying 'A Cup of Coffee'. While we were still there, two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had the two cups of coffee but paid for three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same; He pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying, 'A Cup of Coffee'. It was something unique and perplexing for us. We finished our coffee, paid the bill and left. After a few days, we had a chance to go to this coffee shop again. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man poorly dressed entered. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, 'One cup of coffee from the wall'. The waiter served coffee to this man with the customary respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this, as the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dust bin. Now it was no surprise for us – the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by the inhabitants of this town made our eyes well up in tears. Ponder upon the need of what this man wanted... He enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-esteem ... he has no need to ask for a free cup of coffee ... without asking or knowing about the one who is giving this cup of coffee to him. He only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. ... probably the most beautiful wall you may ever see anywhere....!!! Worth sharing.....

Hope you all enjoyed Canada Day.

I too was the Q bash at Woodbine Park. It was nice spending time with Spart, Berndawg an his family and Karl. Music was great as usual. Great tribute to Journey, Bon Jovi, David Bowie etc. Sonic Boom - tribute to Kiss were last and did a great job - their costumes and make up were right on - I've seen them before at the Molson Tent - CNE. They are actually from Arizona.

So glad I can walk over, driving is not a good idea - back to back cars afterwards because of the concert and the fireworks - crazy crowded!!!

Hey Qbees,

Yes it's me. I hope everyone enjoyed Canada Day.

It was a quiet one around here....

Heading home to Montreal tomorrow... There is going to be an 'Unveiling' for my mom this weekend. It is customary within the first year of someones's death...
I'm finding it difficult and miss her so very much. Not working has given me a great deal of time to think....
...and next month on the 17th will be 1 year since she passed....
Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend... and we hope to stop at Smith Brothers for their lobsterfest on the way back...

xoxoxo

Night night...

Interesting night to say the least. Rushed up from N.O.T.L. to catch the Jays game. We were a 1/2 inning late and found out the Jays were down 8-0 before we even got to sit down I guess we should have stayed down south. Night all.

It was great to see you again! We had a great time. I'm going to post some pics of the concert shortly

[Zedgirl76]

Berndawg, the kids and I had a blast on Canada Day! It was great to see some of you guys too! Here are a few pics we took before our phone and camera batteries died lol
