Do I hear 6?
We've had our best May ever. At least in terms of number of covers, the money is harder to sort out because of menu price increases, different wines on the list, etc. Part of the rise in covers was due to a Mother's Day promotion but even without that we would still have had a record month.
Our area has always done well in a recession. A long-time owner in the area told me about the Carter years with double digit inflation and an amazing amount of business.
Some people asked if I thought $5 a gallon gas would affect us and after a little reflection I nearly jumped for joy. Summer is a season of bargain hunters and RV drivers for us. $5 a gallon might make them stay at home to find bargains in their backyard. The people who do make it here might be more the type of our fall customers, who tend to be more the type of people we really enjoy serving.

Way to go. Diamonds in the poo for somebody :-)

I wish upon you great scads of money and health!
6 bux? Prolly, huh? I bought a used corolla wagon last year, my truck was breaking me at 12 mpg. Now, at over 30mpg, 6 is doable even.
xo, Biggles
