We also know every detail of her divorce, her ex, her two daughters, and the basics of what's going on in Coweta these days. There was much more, too. We left saying that she made our Green Parrot experience just about perfect.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664721949113509873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729166837877316238.post-44333622253660333842012-01-06T00:15:29.262-06:002012-01-06T00:15:29.262-06:00I've eaten at the Green Parrot and am sure I m...I've eaten at the Green Parrot and am sure I met your delightful waitress. It was a quiet time mid afternoon and there were people at just two other tables. The waitress carried on conversations with everyone of us. I learned that the father and son in the booth next to mine had just come from the DMV where the boy had passed his driving test and gotten his license. I learned that the man who left his table without eating much had just come from a chemo therapy and the waitress insisted his wife take another full dinner home and wouldn't let her pay for it. Someone--apparently a regular customer--called to say he'd had luck fishing and was still cleaning the fish and so wouldn't make it into the cafe before closing. The waitress offered to deliver his dinner on her way home. At the cash register as I paid for my lunch the waitress visited with me for five minutes or so, telling me about how she enjoyed living in Coweta and loved the Green Parrot where she'd been working for years. What had started as a stop for a quick lunch on my way to the Stone Bluff Cellar winery in Haskell turned out to be more than I expected. The food at the Green Parrot was good. Watching the waitress was fascinating.Susan Yatesnoreply@blogger.com
