“Remember – EASTER SUNDAY CHURCH”
“EASTER SUNDAY” – No problem for all of us to get up and ready early for the special “EASTER SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICES” –
Thinking back … when we were living in Florida – – it must have been the terrific weather – – that we were always able to get up early – – that is all of us – – my husband, Lee needed to be at the Drive-In Restaurant – – before six in the morning to open and and get the coffee pots going – – one of those double barrel type coffee makers – one side on and ready and the other side ready to go as soon as the crowd determined more coffee needed.
Those coffee pots required a big cloth type basket for the grounds – – we must have used lots of coffee…and whatever the brand we used – – it was always the best tasting coffee – that I have ever had. One thing that we did do… is to offer the police officers at anytime of the day – free coffee and there were some items from the menu that were also offered free for them. At the “DRIVE-In” – – there was always extra parking room for the Police in their cars – – so that they could be ready to fly in any direction – in an emergency situation.
Lee’s brother Al would run the “Chat ‘n Nibble” and of course he also had to be there early – – as that restaurant was in a “SEARS SHOPPING MALL” – and all of those stores would have employees that would come in for meals and coffee all through the day – as our working hours there would start before and lasted longer for the clean up crew.
Even with our restaurants – – whenever there would be an occasion for us to take the whole FAMILY out – – and some other activity at the same time to do – we would stop by some of our friends’ restaurant – – just as a courtesy to them – – as they would also stop by our restaurants – – and that was the name of the game – – help promote your friends business… as they help to do the same for you.
