This weekend my son and I went to see my paintings at the Mission Cafe in Mission Beach. A long line of Mission Cafe patrons waited outside the doors. When the Maitre De took our name and I mentioned that I was the artist, he looked around and said he could seat us right away. It was a movie star moment, so V.I.P., and it made me feel great. No one noticed our jump to the front of the line, only we knew. We ordered three dishes for 2 people: Mango and Green Tea to drink, Cinnamon French Toast with blueberries, Jalapeños with black beans, scrambled eggs, and rosemary potatoes. Yummie!
