September is coming to a close so quickly, I really don't know where it went. This is transition month for Restaurant 15 main. It is sooo busy July & August and then kids go back to school, vacations are over and Narrowsburg becomes very quiet. The state of the economy, wall street and gas prices also seem to affect our industry. The restaurant business is humbling at times and very exciting other times. Considering all the outside factors September was an Ok business month for us.
Winter is right around the corner, I don't care for winters here, but what I do love is the community feeling. When power lines are discussed people band together and try to fight them. When gas drilling is a threat to our natural resources, their are committees formed and commnuties react. That is what makes Sullivan County a unique place to live in this crazy world.
Being a small restaurant and being in a small town has also meant that we have been blessed with regular customers who we consider very good friends. We have been a part of marriages, babies, illnesses, divorces and wishing people well on their way to a new place. We celebrate with them, worry about them and miss them when they move away.
Now we move into October, leaves will be changing and the area becomes bright with color and crispness is in the air. The restaurant business will be buzzing with peepers (people who come to the area for fall foliage) and we will start to see people that stay away in the summer. Peter, Gabby & I may be moving into a cabin in the woods,( I mean woods). We will welcome the Petersheim baby into the world soon. I will be having another birthday (eke). And Hazel & Mike will be celebrating their one year anniversary - congratulations to them.
