Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday #23


Today we join Two  SPOILED CATS 
Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.


Here is today's inspiration



Imaginary or real 
I do not know
The glow, the sparkle
puffy clouds..
The warm yellow light on 
 crescent shape sail.
All give me a feeling quite surreal.


Today I'm joining Brian's House for 2Thankful Thursday.
Hosted by Brian 
I am so very happy and thankful to announce we were able to Dine on the Patio  at our very very favorite Saturday lunch spot last week, Seaboard Cafe.  Seaboard is a small, intimate cafe.  Combination of about 25  2 and 4 set tables inside.
And at least  the same number outside.
  It was the first time we have actually eaten in away from home since late March.  We were so very worried about Rick and Staff during the closure.
Happy to see them back.  

These 2 pictures from 3 or 4 years ago.  
However just wanted to see where
their patio dining.  Only about 1/2 of the tables were set up 
on Saturday.
Saturday there were no napkins or condiments on the table.
All staff were masks and gloves but their joy to be back 
serving the loyal customers was obvious.

    That is indeed an ethereal image and your 'out loud thinking' created a wonderful poem. There was news here of a lot of places closing down due to the lost income from lockdown. Means they were on the edge anyway, with no buffer, but still, sad to see. YAM xx

  6. I am just as happy as you were that you got to dine at Seaboard and I am so happy for Rick and Staff! It was a wonderful thing you and other customers did for them! The picture is surreal and I like your words for the poem! Imaginary or real??? Whatever we want it to be! We are eating at the Breakfast Cottage later this morning after my appt at the derma.

    I laughed out loud with Garfield. Sounds about right.

  13. Your poem really captured the mood of that photo!!! The peeps haven't done any dining out yet, but Mom is slowly making her way at very early hours and at warp speed to some of the grocery stores. And of course, rapid pickup at Panera:)

  17. Lovely poem. The boat looks very romantic.
    No restaurants open here, so if we want to eat out we will have to take a picnic.

  19. Today's picture is magical and surreal. I can't help but wonder, where is the person (or being) who must have been in it? Restaurants opening has become extremely controversial around here. I haven't gone, mostly because my husband can't eat what is served at most of them (food allergies). Have a good weekend.
