I’m proud to say that our three kids: Kat, Tommy and Johnny came home this weekend, and let us know that they are all really chugging away at college. I am hopeful that this implies a strong drive like a chuga-chuga, choo-choo train… and not any other kind of chugging!
That reminds me of a very irrelevant thought. My very first nickname was “Choo-Choo”. Antonio’s started across the street in the left third of Harvest Café. With both my Mom and Dad working; my sister and I were there, roaming the neighborhood all of the time. The train would pass by out back twice a day, and wherever I was in the Holloway’s Plaza; I would scream with delight and run to see the train pass by. (And, squish a couple of pennies on the track if I was lucky). Hence my nickname Choo-choo… and all of the trains that have become part of our décor.?
Many know that one of our pet causes is stocking the Simsbury Food Closet for those in need. On Saturday November 22nd we partner with the John Spignesi Band in “Cans N’ Jams” at Hoops N’ Hops. We’re especially excited to have Mark Mercier of Max Creek (and a close friend), as the guest-star. Non-perishable donations are encouraged in lieu of any cover charge, but ultimately this is a free event and we’d appreciate you being a part of it.
Well, I have again reached the bottom of the page for another week, but in closing; please accept my heartfelt gratitude for your choosing to spend your time and money here at our local restaurant. We consciously try to support our local farms and purveyors and really appreciate the support you give us.
Steven & Co.
