Charlie’s & The Coincidental Connections

October 23, 2019 by Linda Price Wilkie | 1 Comment

Have you ever visited a new destination and found yourself coincidentally connected to it in a way you never expected? You know, you visit somewhere you’ve never been before and meet someone you’ve never met who just happens to be from the same small town you’re from.

Approach dining with a sense of adventure and your epicurean journey will delight your soul, as well as your senses. 

She arrived in a beautiful shimmery gold midi dress with a low-cut fitted bodice and a billowy A-line skirt. Her gold earrings and gold stiletto open-toe evening sandals coordinated perfectly with her dress.  Obviously, she had dressed for dinner at a nice restaurant.  However, it was only when she and her escort stepped up to be seated by the maître’d that she realized maybe she hadn’t dressed for this nice restaurant. Her face took on a momentary look of confusion as her dinner date explained the situation to her.  Continue reading »
