Week 3 and very encouraged by the results....We have a ways to go but all signs point to a successful and l o n g run....This week my brother Pat & sister in law, Tina were up from Florida and their good friends, Nick & Jill from Syracuse joined them...Rick & Cindy came in today and I forgot to give them a 10% discount as Rick is in the Air Force, (all military in uniform receive that when in uniform) I will give them their change when I see them at church....Still seeing some new faces and 'regulars' which makes me feel like we are on the right track....'The Three Amigos' were in today, and lets just say that if a pulpit were available the 'Good News' would have flowed along with the hash and eggs....Paul & Michelle also had breakfast (more church family) and Paul is becoming a 'regular' himself, how cool....I had to ask one customer to please not sit and 'surf the web' for 4 hours a day.....I was hoping that he would understand that it is a little excessive to sit for all those hours and @ a table that seats four!... We sold all of the pulled pork special today and we will need to offer that again soon...Many thanks to Kevin for giving us the Saturday lunch order for 8 workers @ Romano Chrysler/Jeep these past 2 weeks....Had trouble with our credit card machine ever since we have been open, not realizing that it was not the right one for the Verizon phone line we have, Bob a fellow tenant in the building has volunteered to install the replacement we received today and it will now run through the Internet...Thanks to all for allowing me to share and for your patronage.....

With the loss of my Mom, the re occurrence of my spinal stenosis which brings on a pain that is sometimes unbearable, the fact that Ella Mae is on Spring Break from her duties @ SU & finally I'm pooped! If you have followed me on this blog than you know I have 'put it out there' that running a small business & most notably a food business, can take a lot out of you. The fact that I open & close 5 days a week & do all the cooking & dare I say it I am almost 64! That last reason would be enough for most, but I love what I do even when 'stuff' comes @ me. Some times these factors are self inflicted but really most are just events that life can bring to any one of us. So the Cafe will be closed from Monday March 11 & reopen on Monday March 18. EM & I are driving down to spend time with...
