Sissy's

Today I went down to the grand opening of the new business in town, Sissy's. 

I was so excited because Pat Stone, church secretary at the United Methodist Church and now co-owner of Sissy's, told me that not only would there be hand dipped ice cream, but one of the first flavors was chocolate almond fudge. I considered this a direct commandment from God:  go ye forth and pig out on ice cream. 

Not only did Sissy's have ice cream they had sandwiches and soup and delectable home made desserts. Oh no, there was cheesecake.  And almond apricot scones.  And apple pie.  And so much more.  How I am expected to lose weight is beyond me. 

I went back later to explore with Susan Manzke.  We took a look at the crafts areas scattered around the tea room.  

We took a look at the large tea room, which is set aside for large groups and parties.  It would be perfect for  bridal or baby showers.  

We ordered herbal tea for two and sat at the tables at the front of the store and had a leisurely gossip as we watched people go by. 

There were the usual problems of a business's first day.  The new hot water heater didn't work.  The lights at the front of the restaurant had to be re-adjusted.  The helpers didn't know how to figure out state sales tax. Not a terrible problem, but Sissy's was deluged with customers.  It was a start. 

We hope for years of hand dipped ice cream.
