Happy Day.....

It's Tuesday morning & Monday was a good day @ the Cafe......We had offered a Groupon deal a few months back where a $7.50 online payment allowed for $15.00 worth of purchasing power here @ the Cafe......The coupon expires on June 15, so we have been getting many 'folks' in redeeming them these past couple of weeks.....The idea is to build a customer base & I do believe that this will help tremendously.....Everyone seems to be 'blown away' by our food & service!......Thanks to all who have been in & we all hope you will return.....Still trying to turn the corner to making a profit, but feel very confident that we are nearing the end of our 'infancy' phase & heading to the next level......I love operating this place & even with all the setbacks & stressful situations, I would not trade places with the richest of men.....If my health holds out (back) than I plan on staying on until I fall over dead in a pot of soup..lol...or chili!......Hey, the blessing are everywhere & for everyone...Thank You, Jesus.....If some wonder why I invoke my Christianity into this blog, my business & life, it's because I believe that the best is yet to come......I used to think it was all about me & my needs, wants & desires....How wrong I was & how selfish I was.....Have you ever depended on a spouse, friend,  family member or co-worker & than they let you down?.....Well that is just all our flesh & sinful nature doing what we do......So when I decided that there had to be a better outcome, I just confessed that Jesus died for my (our) sins & the only way to the Father was through Him....Now you can't just say it, you have to believe it!.....Now when life, situations or people disappoint me, I know that there is always the grace that God gives me (us) & that His love is never ending.....Please do not get the wrong impression....Am I a sinner?...Yes....Do I lose my temper?...Yes....Have I judged others?....Yes....I could go on & on but the difference is now I know I can ask God for forgiveness & then continue on to be a better man....The fact is God loves us all unconditionally & when we confess our sins He cleans the slate......Thank you, Lord!.....So while this Cafe is my passion, I can rest assured that as long as I do my best & with what 'gifts' He has given me, that win, lose or draw, all is well!......Thanks for allowing me to share & for all the prayers & support.....

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...

Time To Say Goodbye

   Well it's really the right time to end this journey of mine with this final post.  I just turned 74 & while I'm not throwing in the towel, I am mindful of the time I may have left.  I was shocked to just find out that the average male life expectancy in the U.S. is 73.  I'm certainly hoping to be given enough years to spend as much time as possible with my wife, Ella Mae of 53 years, my amazing Daughter Lindsay, Son-in Law Jeff, Grandchildren CJ, Daniele, Aden & Addison & as of today, our one Great Grandchild Brynlee & her Mom Amber (I surely want more) & the many friends who have made me so happy, especially John Detor.     Thanks to all the above plus Mom & Dad, Pat, Jimmy & all the                     Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends     I have been blessed with a wonderful life

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 &...
