Not.......quite yet!

We were ready for opening day, however there was still an important hurdle to surmount...the Health Inspection.  Although all the applications and fees had been paid an appointment to be inspected was mandatory.  We had to wait our turn. 

The Tri-City Herald had printed an article about us, http://www.tri-cityherald.com/915/story/609860.html announcing that we would open on June 19, 2009.  Could the newspaper be wrong?   I called the Health Department on the 18th, and whether it was my now well honed persuasiveness  or my copious tears we had our appointment for 8:00 am on the 19th. Hallelujah!  11:00 am Friday June 19th we opened our doors... and closed them at 1:19 PM.  We were sold out!!!  We were also booked for weddings through September of 2010.  We were in business.  Thank You Lord!
