1. While driving most of the night I spotted a cafe diner sign up ahead and decided to stop. From the outside it reminded me of an old-fashioned bullet trailer diner. Hungry and thirsty I parked the car, walked up the 2 steps to the door and opened it to find - a scene that could have come out of the early 1940's with Glenn Miller's band playing "In The Mood" through an old jukebox in the corner.
2. Not sure of what to expect I decided to sit at a booth across from the counter anyway and to my surprise - I found I was the only one dressed in modern clothes. The men were dressed in WWII military uniforms and the women all looked like versions of Betty Grable with 40's hairstyles and dresses. Even their makeup came from the 40's with bright red lipstick and nail polish. It was like watching an old black and white movie.
3. One of the waitresses spotted me sitting in the booth mesmerized and - came over smiling and noticed I was almost in shock. She too was dressed in a waitress' uniform that you would never see in today's world.
4. Sitting down beside me she said - "Hope we didn't scare you too much and thinking you might have went back in time, but you accidently stepped onto our movie set. We are filming a movie here. Letting out a deep breath we both laughed and I was given a cup of coffee and a donut. As I walked out the door thanking them, the cast and crew all waved goodbye. Walking to my car I thought to myself, "That's one movie I won't miss!".
I hope you join in and play along too. In the meantime dear friends have a blessed day ahead.
{{{Big, Big Smiles}}} AWESOME!!!! My story will be up on Monday, friend. smiles
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day, friend.
Loved this one! You know they have reenactments like that where they all dress the parts and take a train to an old fashioned town for the day. I saw a video about it on Youtube. Very interesting. I would love to try it.

So glad you are doing this.
What a fun meme! Love the creative little story you wove here.
