I must say that I truly found a great home in East Coventry, Pennsylvania.  Just 30 miles from Philly and 90 miles from NY (driving time the same grrrr) I am surrounded by farms and good people.  I live in the type of place where you do not have to lock your doors, neighbors welcome themselves over, and you better at least pretend you know something about farming or hunting.

This morning I met my friend and handyman extraordinaire Billy Keeley at probably the smallest restaurant in all of Chester County.  It is a working class place called Coventry Café and if you go be prepared to listen to some wild conversations.  Oh and if you start with any of the waitresses you will lose.  They do bite back!  Haha

Ok stay focused Jonathan.

Billy has volunteered to take care of my home for my entire deployment.   Billy is a former squid (that means he was in the navy and not really a cephalopod).  I really lucked out meeting Billy when I bought my house as he will be doing everything from grass cutting to getting the mail to telling the insurance company where my house was when it burns down while I am away.

Breakfast was especially bad today as I got yelled out and berated by Helen again by asking for pork roll and blueberry pancakes.  Who doesn’t have pork roll and seriously what dude knows when blueberries are out of season?

It wasn’t all bad however.  I was promised a free breakfast when I come back and yes to include pork roll and blueberry pancakes no matter what time of year it is.  Seems so easy to con the ladies into feeding me lately.  God bless sympathy and blueberry food group.
