Yesterday after Tom’s usual Saturday morning with AFH’s Stone Soup, we met the Disgruntled Liberals Club for brunch at The Hobbit Cafe, which at its former location was called The Hobbit Hole. This was my first time at the new place (“new” to me only, as it moved years ago), and the food is still excellent. The company included some of my very favorite people in the world. Only Don, our Founder, was absent. This is always the case when I have my camera. I threatened to photoshop him in to our group picture, but the best photo I have of him is in his cap and gown when he got his doctorate. Robin thought that would be appropriate, but I’m holding out. I truly believe that one day we’ll all be together at the same place at the same time when a camera is present.
Robin surprised us with this:
A very cool “Peace” tattoo of a wolf lying down with two rabbits.
It was good to catch up after a separation of maybe two years. Good to be with like-minded friends. Interesting to find out that all of us are pretty much of one mind on how we feel about the current crop of Democratic presidential candidates (I thought I was the only one!).
Hope to see y’all again soon!
“Stone Soup” sounds pretty caring. Is the package brought to people’s homes? : )
(Was the tattoo an original design of Robin’s?)
Most of Stone Soup’s clients come in and pick up their food. Some who are unable to have Helper Shoppers who pick up for them. And some in AIDS housing get their food through their residences.
I think Robin and her tattoo guy designed it together. Robin is, in fact, an artist; did you guess that?
I should’ve guessed by her hand. It’s lovely. I always think Madonna’s hands, when photographed, are this lovely, too. Maybe artists’ hands have stories to tell.
I really like that tattoo, and I’m extremely envious of all that beautiful greenery by that restaurant.
It’s not quite that lush right now, but it will be again. I snagged someone else’s photo from flickr since I didn’t take one of the restaurant, but I don’t remember what time of year hers is from.
I love the Hobbit Cafe (and remember the quirky Hobbit Hole). We nearly went there for dinner last night.
That tattoo rules, and now I’m starting to itch to get another one. Never, EVER show bright shiny things to me!
The Hobbit Cafe looks like great fun, and a perfect place for the DLC to meet.

Thanks for the advice
Re: a thank you card
You’re welcome.
I miss the old Hobbit Hole. I ate there lots when I was a kid.
