22,500 Minutes.....

The Cafe has now been open 10 weeks and all is well....The initial growing pains are easing and my crew and I have really become, One.....We are also doing better each Friday with our fish fry.....and starting this week we will offer a different homemade soup everyday and add some more 'comfort food' specials.....Our breakfast special is also becoming a favorite and why not when you can get 2 eggs, home fries and toast all for $2!....We have also begun to offer free delivery and when the weather really gets nasty this should be a plus for those not wanting to venture out for breakfast or lunch.....I need to once again thank all those who have supported us with prayers.....It is comforting to know that 'folks' are asking God to make this place a success and that helps to remind me to thank God everyday for them and that I honor Him with all we do here.....Thanks for allowing me to share........
