My girlfriend Gail and I had been shopping and were tired and thirsty. My ulcers were acting up, as they do when I don't eat. But it was late. The waitress at the restaurant we picked told us the kitchen was closed.
"I'll get you something to drink," she offered.
Gail and I agreed we'd better get something. We just couldn't face the long drive home on an empty stomach and nothing else was open at that hour.
"Tell you what," she said. "I'll make you the house special - a fruity ice tea."
We agreed with her choice.
The drink was delicious, not like anything I'd ever tasted before. It had an apricot-peach flavor and didn't even need sugar.
Several weeks later, we stopped in again, this time for lunch and when I ordered a fruity ice tea, a different waitress said: "That's not on our menu."
We thought she was joking and told her the story of the fruity iced tea. We described the waitress who made it for us.
"We don't have anyone like that working here," she said, shaking her head. When we insisted there was, she asked the cashier and cooks. Nobody recognized her name or her description.
Later Gail said: "It must have been an angel."
"It was heaven-set," I agreed. And it must have been. For since the night of the fruity iced tea, my ulcers have not bothered me at all!!
