The Café was busy as all get out and we had to sit at a table instead of the counter where I love to sit and watch the cook cook. Their River Road Coffee is nice and rugged even in the decafe mode for moi! Grampa had his usual breakfast of eggs, grits and biscuits while I had the superb Sweet Potato Waffle with lots of butter and cane syrup. This was a heavenly breakfast plus I did myself a very good deed too. I spoke with the lady owner and offered to buy a painting she had done years ago if she ever decides she wants to sell it. I was told by one of the waitresses last year that it is the iconic art work that embodies the spirit of the Birdman and is not for sale even though most of the art on the walls by local artists is for sale. As I was enjoying my waffle I had a brainstorm so as we were leaving I spoke with the owner about my idea: she should have her painting copied and made into note cards to sell in her unique breakfast café. She liked the idea so much that she said she is going to do it! I can’t wait to buy boxes of the finished product. I’ll never have to buy note cards again! I’m so brilliant I scare myself!
Before we left St. Francisville we stopped by My Mississippi; I had to feel the water and enjoy its wonder.
