Getting Caught Up

I never knew my life could be so busy. I'm just now getting caught up with the blog. So may things have happened since my last post.

We passed inspection and have since opened our doors. Our first day was AMAZING! So many people came out to support us. The outpouring of support, well wishes and warmth I received from friends, family, and total strangers was indescribable, and I'm still speechless. There are no words that can describe how THANKFUL we are.

For the people that haven't seen the final product, here are some pictures.

We also experienced Trash to Treasures - check out the pictures here. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.274147922603916.75444.165584630126913&type=1

We had ourselves quite an adventure! Here's the run down.

The Good:

1. We served over 120 people! Thank you, Dawn for helping me. We couldn't have done it with out you.

2. We sold out of peach, ginger, peanut butter, and coffee ice cream.

3. We had fun.

The Bad:

1. A sweet elderly lady FELL, hit the corner of the brick wall, got a gash under her eye and had to have 5 stitches. I hope you feel better, sister.

2. None of us got a chance to check out the action happening outside. I wanted to visit the vendors but never got a chance! 

O.M.G.

OMG!

The inspector came to check out the cafe today, and after looking around said that we were ready for the OFFICIAL inspection. So, ..... it's scheduled for TUESDAY!

We've started placing the furniture inside, and  it's finally taking shape. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This has been a very long tunnel.

Hello?

We got one line our phone line connected!! Yipee! Along with WIFI ! Double Yipee!

I already have 4 missed calls. uh oh.

WIFI

 

 

 

Round Two

We finally got the rest of our stuff. The second round bring us the fridge and freezer.

The delivery guys get to work right there on the curb!

Curb Side Service

Need I say more?

We also picked up our counter tops today. Don't they look great?!?

We only have a few last minute details to take care of inside and we'll be ready for inspection!

Tumble Weed

Three posts in one day? I'm definitely on a roll now. I'm a tumble weed.

A lot of things happened today.

The electrician came back to finish up, and later the inspector signed off on all the electrical upgrades. Phew!

The equipment was delivered this afternoon. But,... some of the equipment was "missing". More on that later. We got the oven, the sandwich station, the ice maker, and the meat slicer.

You'd think Omar struck oil.

We had to convince Tony, and George to help us set the 350 lbs oven onto it's legs. George risked his life.

The unveiling

The Dragon

The Sandwich Station

The kitchen did an amazing shrinking act, and we still have the fridge, and freezer to come in. One thing at a time.
