You know those socalled “robo calls” where the name of a person appears on your phone with a number that could possibly be legit? Well, after the Mother Hubbard calls I received and the one that could have been St. Joseph, I tend to block those numbers. Recently, I received two calls from the same number. As I was about to block that number I realized I had a message. The caller was an acquaintance of mine, but the first name was not what I knew. Returning the call was funny - he said he saw my picture in the paper and thought something had happened to me. In reading the column, he finally saw my number and called. The reason I mention this is that now he calls me the “Obituary Lady.”
Sweet P’s is a very unique small cafe in Plantersville. I met my new friend there for late lunch on Friday. They have all you can eat catfish all day long and it was fried just like my family used to do back in the day. It was very good, but I couldn’t even finish the first plate to ask for more!
