Subject: Fwd: Memories
Hi Mom,
Glad you enjoy Art's memories. ..here's the one from last night! I've enjoyed Bethany's travels... Wish I could help Dorothy & Bruce as they prepare for Danielle's wedding. I remember how hectically Susan worked preparing for Suzette's.. .and I of course was travelling before & after! Speaking of Suzette, she and Michael are moving into new house. So when she was last here, I sent her back with a suitcase packed with daylilies, hosta, ferns, etc. for the new yard. Reminds me of my last trip from your home--I'm still watching the plants I brought back from Walla Walla to see when they'll flower. Our tomato plants are now 6 feet high and overflowing their cages.
Good to hear your voice last night. Hope you feel stronger today. Love, Roger Arthur Sanford <IIrthalie@webtv.net> wrote:

67 year we ago tonight had an embarrassing moment for me. it was my last night to work at Miller's Cafeteria in Mpls before Nathalie and I were married and left for Lone Tree, ND I was the only bus boy working in the Millette that night so was doing all sorts of jobs - getting things from the store room for the cooks, picking up dishes from the tables, and sending them down the carrying belt to the washing room downstairs, getting clean dishes to the workers behind the counter. well about 8:30 four people walked in: Nathalie, her mother, her ;little brother Arlin, and Mrs Carpenter, the lady for whom Nathalie had worked for some time and was at that time. of course I had to show off a bit --so picked up a stack of glasses (two trays full) some with water and some not --24 on each tray and started off with them held up with one hand like you see waitresses do in cafes, while looking at Nathalie to make sure she was watching me --and she was--and I ran into that huge pillar in the middle of the room (about 6 feet in diameter cause the other side of it was the conveyer belt that took the trays down to the washing room) well those two trays and those 48 glasses with water went crashing to the floor with a LOUD bang. every one in the place looked to see what happened and Mrs Miller came running out of the office to see if someone was hurt and I could vision $2.40 being taken from my paycheck that night (that was what the cafe charged us for broken dishes)- but when she asked me all I could say was that I was looking at Nathalie and didn't see that pillar, well she started laughing and then said she didn't blame me for looking and then helped me clean up and didn't charge me. but believe me I was careful the rest of that
