Around The Corner Cafe changing hands

Kim Farns and Carl Scansan WILL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTER NOW AT THE AROUND THE CORNER CAFE.They will be trying another adventure in their lives.Carl will be around cooking there for awhile, stop in and say HI...

I was as surprised as any one to hear that my favorite spot to meet and make new friends, and to greet the warm and wonderful friends that I have made here in this quaint town of Orting over these past six years. I will always look upon this small well visited place as my second home.

With its large servings of great food, most prepared by Carl Scanson himself and set before the hard working families of Orting by the best waitresses that you could ever hope to find.  Then at some point in her very long day, two full time and a half time job. Kim Farnes would come in and add her brightness to everyone settled there, Kim would always make it a point to go around and greet each and every one with her warm smile and a kind word.

Then when she would get around to me, she would always leave me and my wife Margaret till last so we could hug a little longer and even every once in awhile we would sneak a quick peck on the cheek. Because you see Kim is one of my two wonderful daughters.

And we are so very proud of both Kim and her husband Carl. You would be so blessed to find such a wonderful person, son in law as Carl.

My wife Margaret at age, not to tell so WHEN you see her and myself sitting there having Carl's famous Hobo Hash don't let Margaret know that I had slipped and let it out that she is 69 years old, is the one who washed all those dirty dishes there on the weekends.

But she just loved getting to know each and every one of you.

See you around,
Papa, Grandmaw
