Glenn and Ward tell us the temps are heading below zero is Fred's News land......no, I do not miss that bit of New England. We have trouble with the old bones, when it hits forty degrees here in Florida-Land, a practice I might add, that over the past three years, has happened way too often. Glenn says, "I would love to soak up the sun in the Paris Window", aka the front window facing the sidewalk, at Fred's News. That rather large piece of glass, to many, much like Alice's "through the looking glass". For those that never stepped into the world of Fred's News, it was a source of wonder, many times people walking buy, squinting to take a quick, hopefully, an unnoticed glance into the inner workings Fred's News. But then one never knew who just might be looking back.
On a cold, dark snowy morning, "the Paris Window" was a beacon of light, beckoning all who travelled out in Winter's harsh environment. "Come in , come in, shake off your boots, enjoy the warmth, the laughter, the comfort food and yes, the friendship. It will melt away all you troubles and perhaps sorrows, knowing we are all in this together!" As the Winter months labor on and on, "the Paris Window" begins to change, the sun's warmth increasing, the world outside awakening, red buds on maple trees begin to swell, someone arrives with an early Spring bouquet....Pussy Willows, yes, the frozen world is thawing, Beaver Brook begins to swell, filling and then over-flowing its' banks with waters from the snow pack melt. Spring will soon be official, "the Paris Window" will now open on to the warm weather world of Fred's News. Sidewalk benches adorned with overstuffed bears, now all awake from months of dreary cold hibernation, ready for the overdue hugs of the "littlest" Fred's News patrons. The beautifully carved trees and bears, all freshly painted, ready for the new Spring season, quietly standing guard, welcoming all who join the Fred's News family.
"The Paris Window", now has filtered sunlight, it is the Flowers of Fred's News soaking up the rays of sun, but the patrons view is now one of color and beauty, where they may dine, talk and watch the hummingbirds do much the same, gathering the nectar from the beautiful flowers. Patrons, now hidden behind these gorgeous beauties, can look through "the Paris Window," out onto the sidewalk, watch pedestrians, pass by and wonder.....Why? Come in, come in, shake off your boots, enjoy the warmth, the laughter, the comfort food and yes....the friendship!
