Deli and other stuff

Howdy everybody! Well, the deli is open and busy. I think it's doing great considering nobody knows where it's located. Q-108 messed up the paperwork so the promotions won't be on the radio until Monday; however, they are great and are going to give the deli some extra promotional time. The Health Department awarded Freedom Deli with a 96! The inspector said "the nicest compliment we can give a business is to post their menus on our bulletin board and Freedom Deli is on it!"

If y'all are reading this, stop by and visit. Everybody is raving about the portions and especially the Boar's Head products. I was at Walmart the other day and told the lady about the Boar's Head products and she said, "Oh, I don't eat pork." (You'll get it later if that didn't hit you right away.)

Have a great rest of the week!

ED 5540 Has Left the Building

I completed ED 5540 and received a 91. Woo hoo! I'd like to thank Dr. Wall for her generosity in sharing her technological wisdom and prowess. I truly learned a lot from the class, but I also learned a lot about me. I learned that perseverance pays off (in a good way).

I have decided to keep the blog going and sharing information on at least a weekly basis. Here goes:

John is thisclose to opening the deli. We are hoping for Thursday and we are down to the little things like the sneeze guard and the Charter guy coming so we can hook up the television (gotta be able to watch those TN games and hear "Rocky Top"!" As I type this John is sleeping and I know he's tired. Molly is also sleeping next to him on her big cushion. It's half the size of a twin bed but a big circle with a bone design in the middle. She's so spoiled, but that's our daughter. ;-)

If you are reading this, stop by the deli next week. It's called Freedom Deli and it's located in the Lowes/Kroger shopping center. We are serving only Boar's Head meats and cheeses and they are BIG sandwiches. Also, we are using Mama Eileen's (she's gotta love that name) "that'sa spicy meatball" recipe so that'll put some 'go' in your pipes.

The deli has an aviation theme. I was busy for the past few months ordering lots of stuff off the Internet (I have a new respect for Ebay) that had anything to do with planes. Mom bought John this really cool clock for the wall. It looks like a plane with these crazy eyes. I've bought posters, old gasoline tins, signs, and photographs of great aviation pioneers like Amelia Earhart. I even found these nice pics of the Tuskegee Airmen. I had the pics matted and framed and they are great looking. Oh, and I found a copy of the last transmission of Amelia's flight recorded by the radioman on the ship tracking her. I also had that matted and framed. So, y'all come take a look-see.

We are also offering southern BBQ. I told John we had to have it and he's a fan of my recipe, so we'll see if the rest of Clarksville is!

Well, I gotta get John up which will take a while and get to the deli. We have a little more touch-up painting to do and I want to see the new coffee pots! It's the little things, folks.

Peace,

Peggy
