The Olympia Candy Kitchen has played a role in each of the brothers lives at one point or another and those times are fondly remembered as they normally centered around the girls we were dating that eventually allowed us to marry them. This morning Evan, Paul and I looked back to those days over eggs done easy, bacon, buttered toast and the sweetest fresh squeezed orange juice imaginable, a very nice beginning to a day in Goshen. Paul and Evan will be taking Mother out shopping, I'll be setting up Dad's new birthday TV from the brothers (just in time for the Notre Dame game) and Janice and Kay will spend some time with Dad. We're all looking forward to Frank's arrival later this afternoon and Bruce is here in spirit.

These shots certainly bring back lots of good memories. Stopping in with brother Paul and enjoying some chocolate covered peanuts, enjoying a shake with the folks after a high school musical performance, time spent with Charlotte over sodas or coffee during the summer of 1973.
I've added breakfast at the Olympia Candy Kitchen to my list of "must do's" for my next trip to Goshen. A freshing change from my even longer list of "must not do's".....
The food was good (for Goshen) and the decor was stunning. The workers were also very friendly and helpful, in an old-fashioned sort of way. You got excellent pictures under truly adverse lighting conditions. More of your pure "Americana" photos!
