Freinds Come In All Shapes, Sizes & Always @ the Right Time.....










Well its Saturday & the Cafe is of course closed on weekends, so a perfect time to share some
thoughts & events of the past week......I am waiting for Kevin to stop by & pick up a lunch that we prepared @ the Cafe for 8 or so sales peeps @ Romano Chrysler.....We have had this arrangement for almost a year & nearly every week.....Sometimes I will deliver, other times we would meet up @ our 7 am Men's Group @ church (we are now on a summer break) & other times, like today he is coming to our apartment to retrieve it before heading to work.....I am not sure that Kevin knows how much this means to me.....His loyalty & friendship & willingness to support my business is most gratifying & humbling....I will forever remember this act of a friend helping a friend.....Thank you Kevin & to all your staff for allowing this to happen.....
This coming week will be another interesting one as with the 4th falling mid-week, I am thinking this can not be good for business....Some will take off the Thursday & Friday after the holiday & that won't be conducive to us as we do serve the local workers in the area.....All we can do is be ready for anything & hope that we can get enough action to keep the bills paid!.....We will be closed on the 4th, but would love to see you all otherwise.....
We had 2 old customers return after a long drought of not seeing them....'Wild Bill' a great character from the local area & a lover of 'our place' & it's food!.....How nice to see him again....Steve (his wife Melinda was unfortunately not feeling well) have also been very happy with us & even gave us one of our first & very positive reviews on Yelp.....They are new Grandparents & that is the reason they have not been in.....I can justify that as Ella Mae & I would give up most anything to have more time to spend with our 4 Grandchildren....I relate all this because it gives me the confidence that all is well @ the Cafe & we just need to 'hang in'......I think I am a little wiser now and have developed some more patience than I ever had, but M-O-N-E-Y & thus sales is what we need, to survive....One thing that has & will not be compromised is my love of this place & the love of entrepreneurship.......
Hope everyone has a great holiday & week.....Thanks for allowing me share & for all your prayers & support......

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...
