Over the last week my relationship with summer has changed from enjoying it to wish that this summer would end so I can return to school. Don't get me wrong, I love summer. The heat, sun, picnics, BBQ's, bonfires, swimming, camping, fresh fruits and vegetables, hanging out with family and friends, reading, and no school. Unfortunately, this summer has been less of those activities that I love and almost all work.
Even without being in school, I have learned so many great things this summer. At home I have learned how to French braid, make sock buns, and make coffee that pleases three coffee drinkers who all like their coffee different. At work ( I work from 8 to 10 plus hours five days a week at an amazing BBQ restaurant where I am a waitress, hostess, manager, cook, cleaner, bus boy, and any other position that is needed (I do draw the line at wearing the big costume)) I not only learned how to cook some great food, but I have also learned little things about people as they come into the store.
1) Woman are, 9 out of 10 times, more likely than men to turn off the bathroom light when they are done.
2) Gentlemen in their upper 60's and older love to wink.
3) Bikers not only enjoy their food more than other customers, they are also more likely to leave better tips.
4) Everyone in this small town knows my boss; and they ALL want to talk to him.
5) Never judge a book by it's cover, you would not believe who many times people act completely opposite to their appearance.
6) Smoked Bread Pudding can make anyone smile :)
7) Dozens of southerners swear that our BBQ is just as good or even better than anything in the south. And it is!
