Darbster\u2019s is the name of a little vegan restaurant that we first heard about at the dog park. Strangely enough, hearing about it there is\u00a0 fitting; it\u2019s named after the owners\u2019 dog and all dogs are welcome.<\/p>\n

We first went there a month ago, for lunch, and sat on the outside deck that overlooked a canal. Naturally, we took Noah, our golden retriever. Our table was the only one without an umbrella and it was uncomfortably hot. We decided our next visit would be in the evening, when it would be cooler.<\/p>\n

So this evening we head over there with Noah and all the tables on the outside deck were taken.\u00a0 I went into the covered area to ask a waitress if we could bring Noah inside.\u201cOf course! Dogs are welcome anywhere in the restaurant!\u201d<\/p>\n

As I \u00a0return to the porch to tell Rob, I\u2019m surprised to see him talking to our old friend, Bess De Farber, who lives five hours north of us. She\u2019s with her new partner, Glen, and the two\u00a0 are here for relaxation and fun for Labor Day weekend. The four of us head inside for dinner together.\u00a0 Here\u2019s where the synchros started happening.<\/p>\n

Our only other time at this restaurant, which isn\u2019t near our house, we ran into a woman who had taken Rob\u2019s last meditation class, and hadn\u2019t\u00a0 seen her since. We met Bess years ago when she attended Rob\u2019s yoga classes. So, for such a tiny restaurant, which seats less than 50 and is a thirty-minute drive from our house,\u00a0 what are the odds that we would run into someone we know both times we\u2019ve been to this place?<\/p>\n

Bess\u2019s daughter, Cassandra, was one of Megan\u2019s teachers in high school, attended the same college that Megan did \u2013 New College, in Sarasota. It turns out that Glen\u2019s son, Morgan, also attended New College.\u00a0 The school only has about 800 students and is considered the honor college in Florida\u2019s public university system. Again what are the odds?<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re sitting there over dinner, talking about the synchronicity of our kids having attended New College, Bess suddenly mentions a jam she found called Robert Is Here<\/em>. Rob and I look at each other, both of us thinking the same thing: is she referring to the Robert Is Here story in \u00a07 Secrets of Synchronicity?\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

This story<\/a> was one of the first we posted on our blog in February 2009. The gist of it is that we were staying at my agent\u2019s home in the keys and two friends had joined us \u2013 both of them named Robert: Robert from Minneapolis, whom we call Rabbit and Robert from Stuart, whom we call Tacayo. Rob opened the fridge to look for some jelly for our English muffins \u2013 and found a jar of jam called, Robert Is Here<\/em>. Well, yes, universe. There were three Roberts.<\/p>\n

It turns out that Bess is interested in reading our synchro book, but hasn’t had a chance yet. So she wasn\u2019t referring to anything in the book. She had found the jam somewhere and was using it in creative ways with vegan recipes.<\/p>\n

She also told us how the jam got it’s name. When Robert was young, his parents who owned a fruit and vegetable farm in Homestead, Florida sent the boy out to the corner with a box of fruit. He stayed for a few hours, but no one stopped. So the next day his mother decided to make him a sign. Oddly enough, instead of fruit for sale, it read: Robert is Here. Eventually, that became the name of Robert’s own fruit and veggie stand, and the brand name on his home-made jelly.<\/p>\n

So, it looks as if Darbster\u2019s is some sort of synchro magnet and the food is fantastic, the prices reasonable. I think we\u2019ll be returning soon!<\/p>\n
