Mother's Day - Update & other events

At the request of several loyal patrons, we have revised out Mother's Day hours.
We will be open beginning at 10:00am and stay open until 4:00pm.
Breakfast Specials will be served all day and regular menu items will be available beginning at noon.
The Mother's Day Special Menu is undergoing the final draft and I'll post it as soon as possible.

Because the observance of Mother's Day as a national holiday began here in Grafton, there are several other events of interest this weekend. Check out this post at The Taylor County Blog Project.

Mother's Day

We will be open on Mother's Day.
Seeing as how Grafton is the Birthplace of Mother's Day, we feel it's important to join in the celebration.
We'll be serving a special Waffle Brunch between 11:00am and 4:00pm.
Reservations are accepted, though not required.
Call 304-903-4717.

Book Signing: May 1, 4:00-6:00pm

Dr. Abigail Elizabeth Reynolds will be here this Saturday May 1st between 4:00 and 6:00pm for a reading of her newest release, The Reporter Wore Petticoats.
She'll be taking questions and autographing her novel.
Here's an excerpt -about the book- from her website:
"Amid the social and political constraints of the mid-nineteenth century, newspaper reporter Elizabeth Grace Fitzgerald shares her adventures throughout the eastern United States and Great Britain.
"Recounted with simplicity, tenderness, humor, and suspense, this fast-paced novel engages the reader in laughter, sympathy and outrage.
"Not another dull history book, this story of persons of high and low estate will fuel the reader’s desire to know more about the events of the Abolitionist and Suffrage movements, the Underground Railroad, and the Civil War."

Here's a link to another blog post that I found irresitable: "Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History"

Very true, indeed.

Live Music Tonight

The Alderson Broaddus Jazz Group will be providing entertainment tonight at 8pm.

..."Its a very fun and eclectic group - it consists of four trombones, one sousaphone, small drum set, and electric guitar. Our genre is classified as fusion: meaning we play many styles and combined styles (including blues, rock, funk, modern and classic jazz charts)..."

Sounds like a hoot!

Sideways Pies

I am the first to admit that I'm not all that tech savvy. However, sideways pictures on blogger are new to me. I've rotated them and saved them several different ways before uploading. I've even tried uploading several different ways, but these pie pictures apparently are quite happy being sideways and have no plans to change. So, rather than fight it, I'm posting them anyway (besides, they are just the slightest bit blurry and that is to be blamed on my un-tech-savviness, too).

Coconut Cream Pie with meringue:

current price 11.95


Lattice-topped Apple Pie:

current price 9.95

If you can crave it, we can bake it.
