Be My Valentine.............

We have had a few 'bumps' again this week....Much caused by my 'meds' making me anxious & 'out of sorts'......I seem to have lost my way @ times this week & concentrating can become hard to do.....For all that, I do apologize & can only pray that I will get better soon......The pain is a constant 4 -5 & jumps to a 8-9 @ times of stress....I am trying to make the 'Cafe' pay it's way but with all that is going on with my health, it only adds to my worry & concerns.....I am convinced that we have a great menu, have reasonable prices, have a caring staff, have good food with good portions, and we will even deliver!.... Yet it is still a struggle to pay all the bills......I have always used this forum as a way to express my life's journey & also 'let it all out' with candor & honesty........This is not easy to admit my failures and 'bumps' for all to see as I move toward my ending goals......I never was much for hoarding anything & that includes money!......I inherited those traits from my Dad & have no regrets......I operate the 'Cafe' to make money, but only am trying to supplement Social Security and hopefully make it a little easier for Ella Mae, who has stuck by me & is still pitching in here even though she has 2 jobs!......I still am of the beliefe that this is where God wants me!....I have surrendered all of my life to Him & will continue to give Him all the honor, praise & glory no matter my circumstances......Please don't think I am some special man because of my faith....I  have made many mistakes, have said things I wish I could take back, have sinned in many ways & situations & yet my daily challenge is to be a better man while following the teachings of Jesus.....I  am thankful for all He has provided & I continue to pray for my family, my staff, our customers & church family & I believe that 'all things are possible with God'!......I will never stop trying to make the 'Cafe' a winner with all that is in me through & from my Lord.....Happy Valentines Day to all who have supported me either with prayers, or being a customer...... And thanks for allowing me to share......

We The People

        I've sat back for over these past four years & kept silent as the daily Facebook political posts supporting our now ex-President became even more alarming...Now it's my turn to make my voice known...I can not sit idle any longer...This posting is lengthily & it's my space to write down my thoughts so be fore warned...      Well here it is March 25, 2021 & 563,530 fellow Americans are gone because of the pandemic...We had an inept President & administration for whom facts just didn't matter...The most important duty of a President is to protect us all from foreign & domestic harm & he failed miserably...He has still exhibited no empathy or apology...It still continues to be everyone else's fault..What an inept disgrace of a leader & American... It's amazing to me that he continues to be unfazed & that his cult members still support him...The lies & conspiracy theories continue & we are more divided &...

My Recent Thoughts

 I previously posted this on Facebook &  I am re-posting it here on my blog so it will forever be part of my story.   If you are okay with a Supreme Court that has no public policy for conduct or oversight, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with our government deciding what's best for a women's body, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with all these mass shootings & the massacring our children, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with more guns & less legislation on limiting access to them, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with the continuing hate being used against the LBGTQ community, Asians, people of Color, people with Disabilities, Drag Queens & Disney, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with the lies about the last Presidential election & who won & a certain news network saying that January 6th was just a few folks wanting to take a peaceful tour of the Con...

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

 Well it is almost vacation time!  Never thought I would be closing the Cafe for a week of r&r, but the timing is right.  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...
