Jeff drove to Lenoir, NC today to pick up our cut pieces of cabinetry so he can begin assembling the server’s stations and cocktail bar storage over at Supperland. Jeff designed all the cabinetry with CAD drawings. Our booth maker is cutting everything down to proper size. This week, Jeff will start to put it all together the way he planned. He has roped off an area at Growlers Pourhouse for woodworking, and that’s where he’ll spend the next couple of days. Peek in the windows if you’re passing by.

The kids and I went for a bike ride today to check out one of the “Shared Streets” in town. The one nearest us is the Romany Road path. We biked back and forth from Myrtle Ave to Kenilworth, and then enjoyed our snacks of roasted almonds and plantain chips in the grass at the base of St. Pat’s church. The kids flew down the grassy hill, one after the next, seeing how far they could coast without using their brakes. Then they walked through the creek.

As I sat among the clovers, I began daydreaming about summertime, and what it’s going to look like for us. Mostly I’m thinking about how I can make a fun, enriching time for the kids without the help of sleep-away camp, half-day soccer camps, and even the bliss of the swimming pool. I’m thinking a camp-out in our yard, more bike rides to picnic spots, and sprinklers in the yard.

My kids have gotten cozier over this time—staying physically closer to Jeff and I the last two months. Staying close probably means staying safe—and I’m pretty sure they’ll all be fans of a slow, simple summer. It’s me who needs to let it all go.

Late night, we’ll be serving up cocktails at a patio pop up bar from 10pm-1am. Open to the public. No cover. Only 21+ for late night. Dinner diners will receive one ticket for a complimentary glass of champagne at the late night party.
