We had a first today at The Little Brick House. Our lunch hour was big, that isn't the first time, it's the norm. In our lunch hours however we have never had a line that went out the doors. Today that all changed. I looked up and all of the sudden the door was just open and the line was the biggest I had ever seen. It was pretty exciting stuff. We were moving for sure. It was a great hour, not our single biggest but it was one of them.
We have a lot of work to do over the next little while. We are anticipating continued growth and then the addition of a lot more business with the upcoming festival season and summer games. A line out the door isn't going to cut it in the middle of summer. People won't want to stand out in the heat just to have our food... well, maybe they will. It is good food. We are in the process of making those changes and it will resolve that challenge. If after we redesign there is a line out the door, well, I think then we won't have to worry much about people waiting in the heat because at that point they are totally dedicated.
Speaking of good food and out the door I have been watching this season of Survivor because one of my friends, Jonas Otsuji from Hawaii Kai, has been on. I remember when I first met Jonas in the Deacons Quorum of the Hawaii Kai 2nd Ward. He was one cool kid, easy going, very like-able. Today he is a very accomplished Sushi Chef and somehow ended up on Survivor. I don't pretend to have a relationship with him today outside of Facebook but it has been fun to watch him on Survivor and think about a lot of the good times we had back in the day. I saw a post from another friend on Facebook that indicated he had been eliminated so I pulled it up tonight and have been watching it. He in fact was eliminated tonight and it was sad to see him go. I don't know that I will follow the show any longer, I haven't watched it in years and was only interested in seeing how he did. It was a good run. Sad to see him go but happy he had the opportunity.
In other fun and exciting happenings of the day the kids walked to the LBH after school today and it was fun to have them come in. I made them dinner there and that was much easier then coming home and putting together something here. I did have a moment of pause and a prompting from the Spirit that I acted on and am grateful for. Andy wanted 2 hot dogs and so I made them and asked Natty to take them to him. She did and dropped them on the ground. Well, had to make two new hot dogs. I don't like wasting much and was a little irritated. Andy was a little upset and did not want Natty taking out his new hot dogs. I told him not to worry that she wouldn't and then it occurred to me, when someone falls of a horse they need to get right back on. I stopped and said, no she will take it out to you. She needed to have that opportunity to try again and to know that I trusted her to do it. It was a couple of hot dogs that were lost and that was all that needed to be lost today. So she took out the new hot dogs and was just fine. I don't know if it even made a difference to her but I hope it did. Jack, well, he wasn't ready to let her attempt to take out his sandwich and made it clear he would be taking out his own food. Such a character.
