I Just Gotta Be Me......

It's Hot!...
Now that we have that out of the way......lol....I just had my 2nd customer of the morning & he asks "how long have we been here"?......I reply "almost a year".....He replies "Yes I did see the signs that you were open, last year".....He asks for doughnuts which we do not carry & settles on a bagel with butter.....I ask him "to take some menus back to his workplace".....He replies " Oh I bring my lunch & eat breakfast @ home, but did not today"......"But, yeah some of the guys do order out" @ which time he did take some......I thanked him for supporting the little guy.....Please forgive me but I think I was a little sarcastic.......Amazing what a struggle it is to get 'folks' in here!......It can be like pulling teeth!....Not an easy or inviting procedure for sure.....The 5th customer made the morning all worth it!....Cheryl one of my best friends sisters came in & what a surprise.....She looks fantastic & we reminisced about the 'good old days' back in Galeville where we all grew up......How cool was that & it made me happy to just be me & do what I do....Thank you, Lord!.....& thanks to all for allowing me to share & for all the support & prayers.....

 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 &...
