"As the Caissons Go Rolling Along"

 All is well @ the Cafe.  It was a slow day today (Thursday) have no idea why!  Nothing is easy for sure & running any small business is a challenge.  I can only speak for this business or more broadly the food business.  You have to be on your game everyday & just wait to see whom will show up!       We are going to be open on Monday (Veterans Day) for breakfast from 6 am - noon.  Maybe this will give some 'folks' a chance to stop in because they have the day off.  We need to remember to say thank you to all the guys & gals who have served us in our Armed Forces.  I am very proud that my Dad &  his 3 sons served in the Army!  My Dad in WW11, Pat in Korea, Jimmy in Vietnam & thankfully I was in Germany with no bullets flying, but where the beer was flowing, lol.  We do offer a 15% discount to all military, everyday & on any purchase, specials included.  It is a small gesture for sure but I believe a welcomed one by those who come in. 
The building we are in is really showing it's renovations & some new tenants are moving in.  This has to help us gain some new customers & sales.  Diane stopped in on Tuesday, she was the last operator here & it was good to see her & her son Justin.  Next week we make the lunch boxes for the Army.  The numbers might be down some because many have been deployed to help out downstate because of 'Sandy', but still very thankful for the opportunity.
Let's hope that now that the election is over all those that are in government come together & actually start compromising & governing!
Thanks to all for allowing me to share & for your continued patronage & prayers.......

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...
