Sunny Days, a Laurel...and Hardy Meal, and Olives

So much for celebrating the Blogiversary.  It's been too busy here with no time for a personal post until now.

We experienced the first all-sun weekend in two months and everyone came out to celebrate. Of course, it helped that there was also a massive book sale sponsored by the library (to which I have donated boxes and boxes over the years) as well as the annual Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival.

The town was hoppin' and the joint (restaurant) was jumpin' all day yesterday. It was tiring, but great fun for all concerned. I had a great staff and the customers were in no hurry; just happy to be out and about in a clear blue sky and bright sunshine. Who could blame them?

The boss threw in a few new enticements from the bar that will likely remain in effect for a month or so. They were appreciated and snapped up by regulars and newcomers alike.

Today's weather was even better and the restaurant was busy at opening and dropped off a bit after 3 probably due to the fact that many weekenders had to return to their home states for the work week ahead. Being Sunday, one special today was Absolut Vodka Bloody Mary's for $3.00 all day. Though we have no real brunch menu, a few items are of the breakfast variety and easily fill the bill.

We celebrated liberation from the isolation of our individual cabins and, aside from a few minor drama queen moments, (which I distance myself from, if possible) everything went pretty smoothly.

Following my after-shift cocktail I made my way back to the apartment and am in the process of making Italian sausage with green/red/yellow peppers, garlic, and tomatoes which I plan to put on Italian bread topped with cheese. I really need the "hardy" tonight, but it needs to be quick, as well.

I am tired, but it's a good kind that keeps my mind off of things beyond my control to change. At least while I'm busy at work. I am going to self-medicate with a few olives now (Cheers! Dr. Spo.) and enjoy the evening meal.

And so it goes.
