Lots of good things......

Been a while since I last posted. Since then we have been quite busy and it seems hard to believe that it is now March. Amos has up and started walking. Took his first few steps the first part of Feb and is now running, sorta, all over the place. He came down with a double ear infection and I got the mild case of the flu this week. Lot of laying around and sleeping for both of us. Went to a funeral last week and was once again reminded life is too short sit around at a crappy job and feeling sorry for yourself. My lovely wife sent me a nice quote -

"Take your needle, my child,and work at your pattern — it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that . . . one stitch at a time, taken patiently." — Oliver Wendell Holmes

Back to patience, again. Although we got the restaurant plans over to a food service designer and he was able to get them fixed. One of the bids on the build out of the space should almost be finished and the other right behind. I am thinking that in the next few weeks we are going to know one way or the other if this is going to happen. I have been talking to more people and trying to get this idea in front of as many people that I can. We have nothing to lose and we need to get the word out, this is a great idea for this town and it would be good to get some more of these going here. Too much chain food, not near enough local eats. If this town continues to attract people who are 1)retiring 2) students at Angelo State University (student population of 6,000 with plans to grow to 10,000 3) military personell and Goodfellow AFB and 4) middle aged adults who are sick of the big city life then our concept is going to be what these people are looking for. It just frustrating that if you don't have money then how are you supposed to get something like this going? In a few weeks we will find out, I just have a feeling and then we can finally take the next step. Out of here is a possibility, but where is a mystery.
