Summer Hours

"Customer Appreciation Day" was a success!!! We had a lot of fun....games for the kids and music to jam to all day was just really cool! I can't wait for the one year party!!!

So we have come up with summer hours, Monday thru Saturday we will be open from 6am to 3pm, Saturday and Sunday 7am to 3pm...starting June 21st to October 1st. Trying to evaluate the best hours was a challenge..We just figure that with how the winter will be we should take some time for family...They hardly remember who we are right now...lol...Yes we expected that but the winter time, I think I will set up a bed in the back next to the kettles so I can just make soup all day and night!

"Ya-Ya" and "Big Brother" are certainly enjoying working together...they have the most interesting conversations! Sometimes I wonder how they even get started with some of their topics. "Hollywood" will be busy singing and DJing all over this summer..we will have to list her show dates and all that fun stuff! Anyone up for a night??? All of the "Little Ones" are anxious to be done with school for the summer..as am I but I really have no idea what they plan to do??

So the air conditioning does not work right in the store...I am out of my mind! I do not like the heat...this is why I left Florida!!! We are working on getting this issue corrected....When we do the store should feel great since I like to see my breath!!!

The cold soups have seemed to make a positive impression on many!! Our Strawberry Prossecco was by far the biggest hit! Now I have to work on making it a few times a week! Yummy stuff...I think next week I will work on the Apple Soup! Always looking for something new!

"Big Brother" is heading out for a golf outing this week...Should be fun! Five days...Oh my! I hope I don't go insane!!! I can't wait to take a vacation and just hang out with my "Little Ones"! I miss them....

Stop in....check out our $5.00 Lunch...eat smile and be happy! See ya soon!

Cream of Chicken And Rice...

Cream of Chicken and Rice is ready for all...smells and looks beautiful. On to the next soup. I will be working on some cold soups this week...Let's see what we can come up with.

Everyone is moving along well in the store. "Hollywood" and "Ya-Ya" have a nice rhythm that works for getting things done quickly. "Big Brother" has settled into his routine very nicely....I am very proud of him...!! Sshh..don't tell him! We have to keep him on his toes!! Which I do a lot! "Survivor Woman" has been working two days a week which is a big help...We still have a few people in our family that need names but I am just drawing a blank.

I am very excited about our "Customer Appreciation Day"...the face painter has been confirmed and the DJ as well. We are working on a song about the store to be performed by "Hollywood" herself...that should be fun! We have some great games lined up..."Stack the Bagels", "Bagel Toss", an "Egg Toss", and a few others that we are working on...It should be a great day for all...I am making two baskets to raffle off..."Family Fun Night" basket and I think a "Beach Themed" basket might be the other!!! Stop by and try some of our cold soups...We will have free cookies and brownies for everyone who stops by...

I am also hoping to have our Watermelon Soup that day...it makes a great treat! Fresh squeezed watermelon juice over fresh cantaloupe and honeydew with ice cold sherbert!! So good I can't wait to make it!!! You know that you want to try it!!!! Stop by......it will be fun!

Plan of Attack...

So I guess its time for us to advertise...things have been a little quiet over the last two weeks. We have a coupon in the Bucks County Courier Times for our $5.00 lunch..We are also going to be advertising our "Customer Appreciation Day", keep your eyes open for all of that info.

The calm is almost refreshing......but I guess we need to maintain a certain level of craziness in the store...It keeps things fun. We are working on set hours for the warm weather. Looks like Monday will be another early day for us, we will be closing at 3pm starting May 1st..

Cold soups, well I would like to have Apple Soup made by Wednesday so everyone can try it for lunch....Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
