Good Morning, Welcome to the Enigma Cafe, Day 4



**************************************
So Welcome to the Enigma Cafe.....I decided to open a nice little corner cafe, a place to gather and talk and sip some coffee and eat some muffins, a place to get cozy , find some comfort amoung friends. On weekends I might even make pancakes...other days there is soup...there is music on the JukeBox...and on the Blackboard Wall by the Front Door there is the Question of the Day ? and if you want certain music you can leave that messege on the Blackboard too. ( Yesterday DK requested The Temptations singing "I wish it would Rain"...and guess what I found it- go ahead and click the title).

*Note* For newcomers this month we are hanging Your Leaf Peeper Art, so email me the photo and we will hang it on the wall.

Also scroll down and you will see all the work that was done this week to make the Cafe comfy... Also TWO Lighthouse Stained Glass Doors arrived- so you all will have to help me choose ? Which one do you like better ?

*QUESTION FOR THE DAY ?*
IF your House was in the line of Fire , You have 2 minutes to grab stuff, WHAT would you grab and why ?

So some furniture has arrived, all cleaned up and painted by yours truly, old wooden Rockers to sit by the fire are due in later today. And two lovely warm velvet sofas have been acquired, in soft cozy green and will be here soon. Dishes and Vintage Mugs arrive tomorrow. And Saturday Night we will have Our First Poetry Slam.

Day 3 At Enigma Cafe......10.26.07


***********************************
I have been washing floors, the Black and White tiles are gleaming, and there is still much tidying to be done. The Local hardware store has called and they are delivering the Fireplace supplies today...I hope that nice handsome Fella Joe with the glint in his eye rides his bike over.....so we can start working on it...I even made some Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins , just for him. The soup is simmering too, Corn Chowder for a nice blustery day by the Lake....and I made cornbread.

The Enigma Cafe is having it's first Photography Contest, "Leaf Peepers", and so I have been hanging up the first entries...it is like having trees right here in the Cafe. I have the Hollies on the Juke Box...

A friend has donated some old records and a record player. ( there is Ella, and Frank,Bing) and So tonight I thought we could have some music and we all could bring some finger foods....hmmm, I have to think of some finger foods., Any ideas ?

Day 2 at the Enigma Cafe.....Thursday 10.25.07


***********************************
I love this picture. Last summer when I was fixing up my kitchen I went to a Sale at Walmart. This Picture framed and lovely was in the trash at Customer Service, I saw it and rescued it. So.....it now hangs in the Enigma Cafe Kitchen. All it needed was some glue and paint to fix the frame, and to hang above my spice shelve behind the Stove. It reminds when I lived and worked in New England. It reminds me of Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches..you know the kind of soup I mean, thick buttery soup with dill sprinkled on top, and Grilled Cheese made on rye bread with Smokey Goulda and Havarti, and served with honey mustard and sweet baby dill pickles....sigh...

*[Click the Title for Music: Eagles on the jukebox... Hey NEW Eagles CD is on Sale at Walmart $11.88 , worth every penny ] *

Goodnight Moon...
