Greetings!
A gorgeous, sunny Sunday! Heading to the mountain for a nice long run this afternoon w/ fingers crossed that the trail will (finally!) be clear of wet slushy iciness.
A fun menu this week with a few special requests fulfilled (those ham & onion tartes are back!), a couple of new things, a few old faves, and a never-been-done-before repeat of one of last week’s menu choices since somebody very special requested it.
Same routine as usual, folks! Orders in by 6:00 on TUESDAY and pick-ups starting THURSDAY @ 4:00. And (also as usual!) if Thursday isn’t good for you just let me know and we’ll make alternate arrangements.
Off to enjoy the sunshine, hope your week is wonderful, and we’ll see you Thursday!
Joann
