Tues January 10, 2012. Breakfast or Lunch --- they stop serving breakfast at 11:00 so if you want breakfast get your orders in before 11
I was having trouble making up my mind for a place this week. The place I was planning on going to their phone had been disconnected Anyway, when I started looking around, I a came across a very bad review for the Weston Cafe. We have been there several times and we have never had a bad experience. I can't imagine why someone would pan a small Mom and Pop establishment and not give an explanation of what they didn't like. Well, that made up my mind immediately, we need to go help these people out They probably don't even know about the review or care but Michelle remembered the Romeos and was sure glad we were coming. The Romeos win on this one!! Here is the listing from our 7/26 visit to Weston. http://www.romeoriders.com/forums/viewt ... ston#p3292
As of this writing we are going to have another beautiful day, so pick out a good route and enjoy the day.
A lot of you met my daughter Pam at the Verona Cafe Romeo Lunch or have seen her in the pictures of me turning the 100,000 miles. Melissa and I were very fortunate to have her spend three weeks with us in between her move from London to Hong Kong. There have been many unusual and fascinating things that have happened during this transition, but one I found really interesting is below and I wanted to share it with you. Pam is a lawyer and she received this email from her secretary about having business cards made. No wonder the Chinese language is so difficult.

If you haven't guessed already, the Romeos had a great time in WESTON. A very neat town, with nice shops and a very friendly attitude. Misty bought some very Classy jeans.

[attachment=7]WestonWeston Cafe 010.JPG[/attachment]Melissa and I enjoyed sitting with George, Marilyn and Mike. They shared stories of their long and cherished friendship. [attachment=6]WestonWeston Cafe 014.JPG[/attachment]It was good to see "Jeri" again. She found a table that wasn't rocking but the next one she found was in the sun. It all seemed alright with "Jeri" George thanks for bringing "Jerry"... she's a keeper.[attachment=5]WestonWeston Cafe 012.JPG[/attachment]NA NU NA NU[attachment=4]WestonWeston Cafe 013.JPG[/attachment] No one was sure whether this guy was part of our group or not. No one claimed him. [attachment=3]WestonWeston Cafe 017.JPG[/attachment]Dena and Steve cooked up a storm. I am not sure they held fast to their rule of no breakfast after 11. I saw Steve bringing out a Hot Roast Beef Sandwich in one hand and pancakes in the other. Not many places even attempt that. Spike told me about the Wheat Berry Bread. If you didn't try it, go back and do so[attachment=2]WestonWeston Cafe 022.JPG[/attachment]I was told to take a picture of the two bikes that seemed to be park differently than all the rest [attachment=1]WestonWeston Cafe 021.JPG[/attachment]I met Trish walking into the Weston Cafe for her morning coffee. She owns the Acorn Antique store across the street from the Weston Cafe. The next thing I know she is serving OUR food and filling OUR coffee cups. Now that is one Classy Lady and a very good friend. Nice meeting you Trish and thanks.[attachment=0]WestonWeston Cafe 018.JPG[/attachment]Ok we have had Grand Kids and last week in Benton there was a dog. Not to be out done Melissa brought our Grand Dog HARRY!!!

Bob from Meridan, KS, somewhere up around Topeka, came down today. He said last week at Burlingame he was visiting with a guy, that he thought was from Gardner and rode a Harley about his 1985 Honda Aspencade (SP). Bob got to thinking about this on the long way home and was wondering if the guy might me interested in selling it. Long story short, I don't know who he is talking about, but if you know someone that has an Aspencade that he might sell, let's get these two together!! twowheels2eat@gmail.com
