TOAST

      The picture above was taken from the veranda of our room at the Buena Vista Hotel on Lake Como, Italy. The city of Lecco is across the lake. I had the best toast there I have ever had. 
      So, the owners had a cook preparing the breakfast, but the male owner was given the chore of making toast. He used an older model toaster and manually watched it. At just the right moment, he removed the toast and brought it to our table still warm. He was very proud of his toast. Besides being very good, it also was done with a huge about of pride and love.
     Every morning when I make my breakfast and cook my toast, I think of that man. I cannot match his toast, but then I cannot match his passion for serving his visitors the very best.
      Another lesson learned on our way somewhere.
