What a great opening day we had at O.C.S.C.A. It was a bit crazy taking care of the carry-outs and the courageous members that dined inside together. I canÕ t even begin to tell you how good it felt to see those faces walk through the door. It was like Christmas with all of the family gathered together.

IÕm not gonna fib, I teared up several times.Our Queens commented about how delicious NancyÕs food tasted. DonÕt get me wrong, it is the bombdigity, but honestly, we could have served them worms and it would have tasted good. It felt that good to be back among friends.

My very favorite moment was when June Cook walked in. We have been able to see Tark picking up their carryouts, but not her since BV (before virus). I asked Òmam, do we know you?Ó That famous smile lit up and she replied ÒIÕm new in townÓ That right there is why I love my job. Lots of feelers.

Because I was playing waitress, Leisa Carlisle and Sheryl Childress nick named me Flo. With the feistiest attitude I could conjure up, I shot back ÒMel, kiss my gritsÓ. Leisa may need to add some red into my hair next go round, with a big oÕ fancy bouffant up do.

The posse showed up and saved the day: Linda Kile continued delivering the carry outs to the cars pulling up, Brenda Griffin stepped in to take the money and Kay Allison helped with waitress duties. They are troopers, and very much appreciated.

June birthdays are right around the corner. Brenda Griffin, Larry McLain, Bobbie Bozeman, Carolyn Thomas, Bob Thorpe, Randy Brillhart, Mike Andreas, CJ Nelson, Chandra Allred, Wendell Freeman, Lisa Dear, Robert McCoy, Cheryl Bullard, Larry Money, Donna Mann, Glenna Pool and JoAnn McCoy.
