Opening day was better than anticipated. Except for being a bit cold, the weather was perfect. Sunny cloudless skies started the day with light wind and temperatures in the low 40°s. Business was steady during the day and right out straight after 6:00 PM. No records were broken in either food or drink. But we got close in both categories. The whole family (except Mom) was there including some of the nicest regular customers we see. I was delighted to see Meg working the floor. Court stayed and closed. Cathy worked the crowd. Also included were a few regular customers whom we never seen on opening day. So it was extra special for me. And, hopefully, the feeling was mutual throughout. Thanks so much for the great complement of just being there! Our father, Billy, would have really enjoyed this day.
