HappHollowTurkeyMas.....

 

 Well the ups & downs of operating this Cafe continue.  We had a couple of very good weeks and than a couple of not so good.  You would think I would be able to deal with that yo yo affect after 2 years, but unfortunately I'm not quite there yet.  I still continue the journey though & do not give up easily.  Maybe I am stubborn, proud, won't be defeated, or just simply love what I do & will persevere until I can't physically & must call it a day.  However, if God can keep me upright I won't stop until He gives me the word to.
    It's almost Halloween & 'folks' can't find enough ways to spend money.  Now I am all for the 'kids' having fun, but as with everything we seem to do now a days, it has become another commercial economic engine & this one now takes us directly into Christmas.  Oh, Thanksgiving is just a 'pit stop' or 'bump' in the road for which 'folks' who are in the retail trade can not even expect that day off with family & friends anymore.  Just look @ Walmart, Macy's & JC Penny's, the parade begins & this is just the beginning.  Christmas music is being played, stores have decorations up & the sales pitches have begun.  Wow what is happening!   I love the Holiday Season & especially Christmas as much as most, but this is now a 3 month sale-a-thon which beckons the consumer to spend until they are either broke, exhausted or both.  I can only pray that we will come to our senses & really start to enjoy this upcoming time of the year for where joy & promise abounds.
     If I sound a little 'preachy' today please forgive me.  I am just older & yes maybe somewhat wiser & years of experiences have given me much to compare.  I was also 'caught' up in the commercialism of Christmas time so I understand it, but I also would be foolish if I did not condemn it, because I do..... Some might say that hey you started out talking business & sales is that what you are all about too?  Please let me set you straight.  I operate this Cafe because it is my choice for earning a living.  Anyone who knows me would never say I am money driven or greedy.  I am a small businessman who has no stockholders & is only trying to make a living for my family & keep the bills paid.  To make a sale any sale just to boaster the bottom line is not what I want.   I am looking to build this Cafe with great food & value.  'Folks' need to eat & when they have the desire, time & money, I (we) will be waiting to do our thing no matter the season......
     Thanks for allowing me to share & for all your prayers & support.

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...
