Cannot Connect

July 28, 2011

Not quite sure what is happening. I have had success for the last while connecting to Jay and Sara’s wireless but tonight we are not having any. Oh well. I don’t really care to mess with it and so I am typing the blog in Word once again and will post it eventually.

We had another good day at the shop. I stress day in that. We have yet to take off at night and that makes things a bit challenging. Somehow we’ve got to get the ball rolling at night and start bringing in some revenue. It is not enough for us to have a great few hours for lunch and then die for the rest of the day. If that is the case then we should shut her down early and just be a lunch place. I guess we will have to analyze that. There are a few key things that we have coming together that will definitely help. The dinner and a movie deal will be great. The table stands came in today and that is fantastic. Also, the Farmer’s Market on Friday nights has the potential to help out. That starts tomorrow night so it will be interesting to see how it goes. I won’t be here for it as I am heading to Vegas to attend the Marien Fontano birthday campout extravaganza. Funtabulous. I am looking forward to the report on how it turns out. We will be mounting our signage soon – I hope. That will be great and should definitely draw attention to the building.

I had a great Temple visit this evening. When I got there I had a bit of time before the session and saw a sign about needing patrons in sealings. I enjoyed initiatory last week and decided it would be a good thing to go up and do sealings again. It had been a little while since I last did them. It was great. There was a gal that was doing some family names. I was able to assist her in a couple sealing as well as two children being sealed to the parents. It was a treat to assist and to see her joy in doing the work. Grateful for it. I was a little bit of a sore thumb I guess. I was in a room with two couples and the sealer was very interested in both of them and learning about them. Said not a word to me. At the end of it I guess one of the sisters thought I needed some attention and she asked where I was from. When I mentioned Cedar the sealer, also from Cedar, finally asked me a question. No big deal, I didn’t really care but thought it was interesting. I always loved going and doing sealings in Vegas with Herm Zobrist and the University Ward. Thomas Wadsworth was usually a regular to those as well. Good memories. Anyhow, I didn’t really mind the lack of attention and simply enjoyed being able to participate. The sealer was a neat man. President Monson was his Mission President and he had some fun stories to share. Sealers happen to be some of my favorite people. Maybe it is because Grandpa Al did the same. I do remember doing sealings years ago in St. George and the Sealer knew Grandpa Al and Grandma Vi. He had served with them in Switzerland.

I am looking forward to the return of the kids on Tuesday. Hard to believe it is here already.
