Good Monday morning!!!
We know....we have missed everyone too!!! No, we've not been open since last year and neither one of us have had al pastor tacos since last year either!! This year has been rather crazy hectic so here's a little update and why we've answered I don't know to the When will y'all be open questions. :)
As y'all know, we had shut down the end of the year last year in order to help out some friends with a remodel nightmare disaster. That disaster is now almost completely a dream as they have been able to move back into their home. There are still some things to work on and we're trying to work out a tentative future schedule.
In the middle of all of it, my dad (Connie's) got sick in January with Covid and for the first time in his 84 years of life, had to be hospitalized. He has been blessed with excellent health his entire life so this was extremely hard on all of us. He came home weighing less than he had ever weighed (having no weight to lose), Covid positive, on oxygen and very sick and weak. Mom has had a history of heart issues and between the two of them, dad with Covid complications and mom worrying too much about him, we became very familiar faces on first name basis at the Live Oak ER which I cannot say enough positive things about. After multiple ER trips and hospital stays, we all are extremely grateful for the many miracles we have received this year. There was a point that I came home after yet another brush with death and I told my husband, If God never ever ever ever does anything else for me again as long as I live, NO ONE can ever convince me that He is not a miracle working God. Despite excellent medical care, there were times this year that there simply was no explanation except it was a God thing that happpened.
We are now able to breathe a sigh of relief, dad is gaining weight again, turned 85 in March, able to mow his grass again (THAT was a cause of great concern for him), gaining his strength back and the emergencies are not happening as often. Mom is doing MUCH better, God has opened up doors for an ever better medical team to take care of her and we are continuing to believe for more miracles and grateful for the ones God has given us so far.
If you are still reading this......this is just a short, tiny summary of the craziness we have been through this year. We hope to be able to open up soon but at this point, we don't foresee it in the next couple of weeks. Once we see we will be able to, y'all will be the first to know.
Thank you so much to each and every one that have prayed for us, sent messages, tagged us in posts even though we haven't been open, and showed your love, care and support. We truly are blessed by the Great Amigo to have so many who care. We love y'all too and hope to see you in the next month or so.
