Friday

       “Pates Place” is buzzing this morning. Spring is here and our thoughts turn to soft ball. The big boys need new uniforms. We though we would approve a spaghetti dinner. Four- fifty for all you can eat. Salads, bread sticks, coffee, milk, and ice cream for dessert. Hopefully it won’t rain as we have the patio set up as well as the bar and dining area. I can’t decide if we should make meat sauce on meat balls. Both of them sound good. We don't start serving until three o'clock. Mabel says she will bake the meat balls. Carl can cook the spaghetti and I'll make the sauce with meat in it. The player’s wives have their baked goods for sale. I see they have my favorite, caramel filled brownies. Every thing is going along nicely. 

       We started serving at three o clock. All of a sudden I can’t see. I panicked as I only have one good eye. We figured it out. One of my-lenses popped out of the frame of my glasses. STOP! DON'T MOVE! Look down on the floor and see if my lenses are there. We couldn't find it. Guess where it was the only other place it could be, was in the pot of meat sauce. We all had a good laugh.
