Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

Well day 1 of the stay/cation & I'm exhausted all ready! lol.  We went to 'The Wind Mill Market' in Penn Yan & it was a nice scenic drive & a great place to eat & shop.
Paul, who is painting the Cafe, just called & said he would be finished by 7 pm tonight, so we are excited to see the new makeover.
        I  now must introduce you to our next door neighbor here @ our apartment.  Michael (as in the arch angel)!  He has become a cherished friend to Ella Mae & I & all only in these short few weeks.  You know it is right when the bond is so complete that quickly.  He has taken an immediate interest in the Cafe & has designed a new website, which I hope to launch next week.  His smile is contagious & he has a absolute want of helping people.  He is a Mid-Westerner, from a town near Fargo, North Dakota & with that 'draw' to match. lol.  Before my pre saved days, I used to think everything was by chance or possible only from my navigation.  Well now that I know the truth, I thank God for all the people, places, events & circumstances because it is of His will & His plan.  Michael has already been to the
Cafe 3 times, once for lunch, once for 5 take out lunches for the staff here @ our apartment complex
& again just yesterday with a friend for lunch.  I thank God that He placed Mike in our lives.  I now have confirmation that I am where I am supposed to be & with Mikes encouragement & drive this will be a great third year here @  the Cafe.  Thank you, Mike for  your friendship.
         As always thanks for allowing me to share & for all the prayers & support.

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

 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...

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 &...
