The Apple Fritter Chorus

On this beautiful cloudy cool morn, I happened to stop at the local baker/meat market (Marv's: http://marvsmeats.com/index.html and http://www.marvsbakery.com/) to purchase rolls for our hamburger dinner tonight. The aromas inside this bakery/meatery are intoxicating, the prices are not as prohibitive as they could be in to-day's bullshit profit-above-all-else society, and you get a free cup of coffee (black, like my coffee) with a bakery purchase. ALSO, they have samples of their wares broken up into bite size pieces on the counter for free tasting.

'Can I get four sesame rolls please?'
'You want four ROLLS or four PACKAGES?
'Four rolls please.' ...
'What else?'
'Can I get one of these down here on the bottom?'
'OK, apple fritter.' ...
'Is that all?'
'Yes thank you.'
'Three oh eight.
Hand her the ever-ready card. ...
'There you go.'
'Thank you.'
'You're welcome, have a good day.'

'Have a good day'?!? How could it not be good starting with the most dense, warm, cinnamon-apple-flavoured carbohydrate-laden, glazed chunk of goodness?!?!? It wasn't even all by itself; I think they make an entire sheet pan of these and then just rip off a hunk the size of the State of Massachusetts, shove it in a wax paper bag, and tell you to have a good day.

And then the free, hot, dark roast coffee, WITH A LID!


Glorious LORD of heaven and earth~
I am thankful this morning for Your
Providence, for all the good gifts You
shower upon us each and every day.
All praise and honor to You - King of kings and LORD of lords!
Blessing and honor, glory, and power
be unto You, be unto YOU!
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
