The young man handed a registration card and the key to Room 4 to Alfie.
He signed the registration card and took the key.
" Room 4, just up the stairs and to your right".
" I'm hungry" Alice said as she picked up one of the suitcases and began to walk toward the stairs. " Is there someplace that's close and open to eat?".
" The Hoot Owl Diner is just down the road and it is open".
" Thank you" Alfie said as he picked up the other suitcase and followed his wife up the creaky wooden steps toward Room 4.
Alfie drove the SUV into the small gravel parking lot that was empty of cars. He saw the small sign that was swinging from the wind and it said ' Hoot Owl Diner'. As he parked the car, the outside looked like an old wooden cabin. They walked up some wooden steps to a porch area where a small porch swing was in one corner. They walked into the Diner.




Everyone have a great Sunday. Love Ric.
