Wonderful Weekend

The store has turned into a little meeting place for all the "regulars" to grab a cup of coffee and a roll. This past winter while he who was working worked, my soul sister, Deb and I put puzzles together, talked for hours, and sang along with the songs of the sixties together. We also tossed around ideas. We cooked a lot, too. We share similar interests and we both love to cook. Neither of us are afraid to experiment with recipes ........ Sometimes that is good .......... sometimes not so good. He who will try almost anything was our guinea pig of sorts .... he is also unafraid of hurting feelings if he doesn't like something. He has been known to make an awful face and spit the offensive bite into a napkin and tell us it is "nasty".

Anyhow we decided to try a weekend breakfast of sweet rolls and coffee. We also have decaf and hot chocolate available, but our crowd seems to prefer the full measure of caffeine. Cinnamon rolls were our first choice because the dough can be made ahead and frozen. Muffins were my choice, but they just don't sell as well as the cinnamon rolls slathered in Deb's cream cheese icing. Not too long ago I did a little research and tried out several recipes for sticky buns. I use the same dough for these and add the "sticky". I prefer the sticky buns, while Deb prefers the cream cheese iced buns and each of us have our faithful followers.


We sold out two days in a row this past weekend! That meant I had to get up at 5 am, but, I actually enjoy that alone time in the morning. My weekend days are not as physical as the week days and I have been known to lean way back in my office chair and take a little power nap in the afternoon. My desk is high and no-one knows that I have been dozing when they come in. (I guess they do now!


He who is forbidden to mow on the weekends actually sat awhile and chatted with our customers Sunday morning. He is sporting his new day-glo colors, courtesy of Crazy Tom. I seem to recall requesting a visor for myself ........... That's okay, this makes him be he who is easy to spot from afar.

Soon I will need a bigger store, more tables, more chairs ................ more help?

Several times I was told how nice my kampground was this past weekend and that is what makes it all worthwhile ................ well, that and money.
