"We have cut down on spontaneous dining out, but now make it a special occasion. This results in eating in higher end, always local restaurants instead of quick bites in chain restaurants."
"Bummer. It was fun to go there and eat breakfast and look at Cachuma lake. And, the breakfasts were delicious and not very expensive. We once rented a pontoon boat, and had a wonderful time. Hoping someone adventurous will buy the place and enjoy running a family friendly business in paradise, spending a big portion of your day outside! No more inside desk stuff...just think about it...if you have some extra bucks. Why not make people happy."
"62911 Nice letter. Forty five years ago and because I worked hard on our property my husband gave me the chain saw I asked for. Now he gives me Chanel No.5 and See's Chocolates and all the books I never had time to read. We are happy too :-)"
"BONNER -- I'm going to a Garden Exchange today. Thanks for the heads-up!!!"
"@62896 I'm sorry for what happened last Saturday and I don't know what happened. We have been to capacity the last 6 months, but if she is still looking for shelter, please have her call and I can at least keep her information. I am working until 10am today and tomorrow from 5 - 9 and ask for Nubia."
"I think this problem is true of every downtown, suburbs have more fast food places with restrooms. It is just another reason to avoid visiting at night. It makes sense though to supply facilities because someone has to clean the messes when there aren't facilities. Perhaps store owners have to clean up."
