April showers bring May flowers, right? So, that must mean we're ready for flowers! Bring it! :)
This week's news? Not a lot, it seems. We've got Saturday music, but our friend Joe Craven is such a hot ticket, the show's been sold out for weeks. We hope to bring him back, so stay tuned if you're bummed that you are sans ticket. I'll let you know how fabulous he was next week. I'm a giver like that. :)
We are still serving a Saturday dinner special that everyone is invited to enjoy from 5pm until the 6:45ish. We're serving a beef and black bean chili with baked polenta, plus a special dessert of fresh yellow cake and chocolate frosting. Old school delicious-ness. We'll figure out how to send this to go, as well, if you want to call in your order to pick up.
And Sunday brunch is a return of an old favorite. I don't think anyone gets tired of Croque Madame sandwiches, which is a fancy grilled Gruyere and ham sandwich covered in a French cream cheese sauce, baked and then topped with a fried egg. It's joy on a plate, so I hope to see you on Sunday!
'Tis all for now! Hope you're having a great week and I'll see you real soon. Thank you for all you do and have a lovely day! :)

| Sunday Brunch served 9am - 1pm
In honor of the royal wedding, I'm copying some of the wedding menu.
Croque madame breakfast sandwiches (the best breakfast food on the planet, btw) and greens in a light dressing. Breakfast is served with a basket of earl grey scones and lemon curd.
Last time we served Croque madames, we sold out fast, so I'll make a few more. They really are so good and I promised to bring it back. Thinking of you, Lori! :) |
Saturday Music 7pm - 9pm
Joe Craven (Tickets are sold out!)
Tickets are already pre-sold for this show, but for those of you who bought tickets, please don't forget. This will be a special night! And for those who missed this one, hopefully Joe will be coming back and you'll have another opportunity.

New Book for Book Club!
The Last Child in the Woods: Saving our children from nature-deficit disorder
In honor of Earth Day, we're reading a book about the importance of contact with Nature for our children from the point of view of a child advocacy expert. But how can it not be important for the rest of us? I know I start to go a little wiggy if I don't at least go for a walk every couple days. I'm looking forward to this book, though I know he'll be preachin' to the choir. :)
Here's what Publisher's Weekly has to say... "Today's kids are increasingly disconnected from the natural world, says child advocacy expert Louv (Childhood's Future; Fatherlove
; etc.), even as research shows that "thoughtful exposure of youngsters to nature can... be a powerful form of therapy for attention-deficit disorder and other maladies." Instead of passing summer months hiking, swimming and telling stories around thecampfire, children these days are more likely to attend computer camps or weight-loss camps: as a result, Louv says, they've come to think of nature as more of an abstraction than a reality. Indeed, a 2002 British study reported that eight-year-olds could identify Pokémon characters far more easily than they could name "otter, beetle, and oak tree." Gathering thoughts from parents, teachers, researchers, environmentalists and other concerned parties, Louv argues for a return to an awareness of and appreciation for the natural world. Not only can nature teach kids science and nurture their creativity, he says, nature needs its children: where else will its future stewards come from? Louv's book is a call to action, full of warnings-but also full of ideas for change."
