Happy Holidays....

What a fun season!
 Thanks to all of our friends for making it so festive.  The cards, goodies and surprises where wonderful.  We love seeing each of you.

We celebrate Christmas at our house and early Christmas eve there was a knock at the door and what should appear...  But Santa and his elf!  We had a lot of fun having Santa over - what a surprise!
We will be closed on Wednesday December 26 to enjoy family.

What a fun party....

We are finally recuperated from the festivities.
It is such a fun day.  So many friends gather to hang out and catch up.  We love seeing everyone together.
See,  we really do need a big parking lot.
In the 37 years we have been open, we have seen many youngsters grow up, get married and have kids. 
Thanks everyone for a wonderful party.
 
 





Can't miss us now...

We have a new sign!
The size is the same as the last sign, but the new graphics are hard to miss.
I think people will notice us, don't you?
