Breakfast and a Great Day at Windy Flats Gallery
By Connie Herberg
 
Last Saturday was a spectacular day for a drive, so we (hubby, dog and myself) hit the road for breakfast at the Owl Café in Laurel, MT, then on to Nye for an art opening at the Windy Flats Gallery. 
 
If you’ve never experienced Saturday breakfast at the Owl, you really must put it on your list.  You not only get an outstanding meal, but musical entertainment to boot.  Any one of several local groups will show on a given Saturday, at about 9am, to serenade the breakfast patrons.  It’s homegrown fun that allows you to slow the pace a bit. 
 
All of the three waitresses on this particular morning were young, perhaps 18 – 20 years old. They were increasingly busy as the hungry patrons started coming through the door, ready to eat and enjoy the music.  Sitting alone, at the table next to us, was a gentleman who quite clearly had some physical limitations possibly from a stroke.  One of the young waitresses greeted him and patiently made sure she understood his order before posting it for the cooks.
 
As his order was ready, she brought it to the table and took the time to cut his food into manageable pieces, pour his coffee into a tumbler with a straw, and arrange the utensils for easy access.  She came back to the table several times to check on him and made sure all was well. 
 
I feel privileged anymore to witness such acts of kindness.  It seems that kindness and courtesy often is shoved aside in the hurried pace of our lives.  However, small town Montana has not forgotten.  I grew up in a place (small town ND) where kind actions are not only commonplace, but, expected of young and old alike.  I’m happy to see that such caring still exists.
 
After breakfast, we travelled on to Nye for a gallery opening at the Windy Flats Gallery.  Good food, good company, inspiring art, gorgeous scenery and perfect weather.  Our spirits were lifted.
 
Today, I challenge you to go out with an intention to find acts of kindness and then commit one yourself.  It does the soul good.
