My friend and I (Rosie) had made plans to go out for coffee yesterday morning. She does the driving, so when she showed up I got in her car and asked her if we should really be going. The day before being the bombing in Boston...40 miles away. But in the next breath I told her of course we are. We needed to go and not be intimidated by these insane  miscreants whoever they are. It's been a long, cold winter and I want to get out of the house and have our coffee break like we always do. So, off we to to Panara Bread for our little gossip and complain time just as usual. We both got the biggest cinnamon roll they have and of course some butter to slather on top....I think this is the week I was cutting back...just can't remember ...figured I could skip lunch. Anyway.....half way though our gabfest we noticed 2 soldiers come in and sit in the booth next to ours. There's an Army Base about 20 miles south of us and maybe some of them were heading to Boston. Rose was uncomfortable at first when she saw them and didn't know exactly why they were there....she has to know everything...so, I just said "Well, what better company to be in while having a coffee break?".They were quite young. On the way out I stopped and shook their hands and thanked them for their service. They were so polite and said " Thank you ma'am." I think they were from the South from their accents. So, everything worked out fine and we just went about our "business as usual" good time that we always have.
