When we first opened, kids would come here to hang out and smoke. Then a few years ago, we went smoke-free. It's really the only rule we have here.

Business is good. Last Friday at 12:30 p.m. they were lined up outside the door waiting to get in.

One of us has to wash his reading glasses every day for him and then we bless his food before he can eat, saying a prayer. He's been coming here for probably the last 10 years. It's very important to have a business that can keep on going and going. I would hate to see somebody come in here and turn it all around.

I finally told my husband we have to build on another room because it's too cold out there for the kids. We went from a one-room shack to two rooms and finally what we have today.
