Whistle Stop Cafe in Georgetown, CO

Whistle Stop Reunion
​
It's time for a throw-back write-up, about a very fun breakfast... in June of 2017.

This is my friend, Martha popping out of the Whistle Stop Cafe. 

I wonder if Martha knocked over a chair or made some commotion, as she rushed  to greet us. 

There seem to be a few diners looking out the window, eager to see what's going on.

After Breakfast

​I have no photos of the 4 of us meeting and greeting, inside. We were too busy for photo ops.  I do remember our voices were very loud, for the quiet diner!

Don took this photo of me posing with Martha her hubby, Bill. We were feeling happy and stuffed after our breakfast. Martha and I hadn't seen each other since college, (38 years!) so there was lots of catching up.

​Over lunch, Martha had me laughing hard... just as I had expected.  We hadn't seen each other since 1979, but we needed no warming up. 

An added treat was finding out how easily our Long, Tall Texan Husbands got along. Don and I both had fun talking about Bill's hometown, Mineral Wells. I'm not sure that we took a moment to admire the cafe's fine sign, or those nearby mountains!

Inside the Cafe
​

I wish I'd taken at least one other photo, but we were too busy gabbing. This does not begin to capture an ounce of the fun we had. I loved hearing the story of how Martha and Bill met... or Martha's tales of NY theatre after college... 

Food

It's always easy to photograph your food. So I did. The platter of poached eggs and biscuits with gravy, looks as crazy as I remember. 

There must have been a half dozen eggs in that omelet. I do remember the chopped and fried potatoes! Very yummy!

​Post Breakfast
​

After we ate, we were off to explore the town of Georgetown. We toured the old Hotel de Paris, which was an impressive museum. Then we made a stop at a colorful, sweet shop.

Ice Cream and Candy
​

We relaxed with some ice cream and left with our candy purchase! Candy necklaces and candy cigarettes! What a perfect way to end our reunion!

Continuous Reunion

Our reunion actually continued the next week, when we met up at The Brown Hotel in Denver.  Martinis, appetizers and a tiny bit of dancing. No candy cigarettes.

June 2019
​

This past June, we 4 met up in Idaho Springs, Colorado. We "took the waters" at Indian Springs Resort, then shared a hearty breakfast at Marion's of the Rockies. Once again, I failed to capture much of our dining with photos, but the memories are good!

Yay for dining reunions, with good people! Thanks, Martha and Bill!
