It's Saturday & time to reflect on this past week @ the Cafe.....It turned out to be an average sales week for us & for that I am thankful.....Friday was Trevor's last day...I will miss him, he gave me 100% & even when I was the tough taskmaster!....He will always be a special friend & former employee who has helped us grow.....The NY State Fair starts this coming week & I know it will affect business.....Money is still tight & 'folks' will have to eliminate some choices in order to have the needed extra funds to hit the Fair......Who knows maybe someday we will have a venue there!....A new business has opened across the hall & they are great 'kids' & have become loyal customers....The building is beginning to fill up & the improvements are ongoing....When we have a 'full house', this will certainly give us a fighting chance of survival....Who wouldn't want to have the convenience of an in house cafe serving breakfast & lunch to your employees & clients......We just need to stay the course & continue to serve our customers to the best of our ability......I can't wait for the day when we are so busy that we will need to call for more help!..... We are still into our month long anniversary special featuring our August 31 drawing for a $100. & $50. gift card!.......Come on in & with a single person purchase of at least $10. you are entered....As always thanks for allowing me to share & for all your prayers, words of encouragement & support......

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...
