Who knew? He Canoes!

It always surprises me when I visit Nana's Bakery at a different time of day or a different day of the week. Just as I have a "regular" time and day to visit there are others who are "regulars". When I walk in it is like a completely different place with unfamiliar faces and people who definitely don't know my name. Except, of course, for the ones behind the counter. They know my name.
I'll get a "Hi there gorgeous!" from The Baker ( AKA Doug the Doughboy).  Or Barb (The Baker's Wife) will tell me she's got something special set aside for me (gluten free chocolate cheesecake!).
So it doesn't matter that the faces at the tables are unfamiliar. Within minutes I'm part of the conversation at the next table (they were admiring my "Doug Omelet") or The Baker has made his way to sit down at my table. That's just what it's like there.
I thought I would remember how the conversation got around to canoeing. I don't usually take notes while I'm there. I'm searching my memory file and I'm getting zero results. So all I can say is the conversation led us to all the places Doug had canoed in Essex County (INCLUDING THE DETROIT RIVER). And that his first job involved delivering supplies by canoe in Kenora.
The canoe itself was part of a deal done in the bakery. 50 bucks and only a few patches needed.
That's Nana's Bakery.
And good news, they've got a blog now too! It's written by 3 people: Doug, The Baker, Barb, The Baker's Wife, and Linda, The Baker's Apprentice.
