Olivers

Many thanks to HC Ohlhous who posted a very informative comment to my blog about the flood. He supplied a wealth of supplmentary information and details about the fate of the boaters.

My sister Marilyn lives in a Saratoga ARC group home near here. Whenever we pass this way we use the opportunity to visit her. Yesterday was such a day. We took her to some garage sales, and to Wal Mart (Wal Mart and the dollar store are her favorite places to shop.) We also took her to lunch at an area institution, Olivers.

Olivers Cafe in Glenville, NY has always been a favorite for us. The locals keep voting it as one of their favorite places, and they rave about the hamburgers.

When laying on a brilliant white sand beach in the Bahamas for example, I often fantasize about Olivers home fries. Warren, the cook and proprietor, just happens to make the best home fries in the world, IMHO. We tried and tried and we just can't make our own as good as his, nor have we found their equal in any other restaurant. The proprietress, Claudia, is a dear, and a shrewd businesswoman. She remembers the names and the personal details of her regular customers. Even after so many years being away, she gave us and Marilyn a warm welcome. Marilyn just loves going there.
