Ups and downs....

Like I said in an earlier post, we kept running out of food.  How in the world do you learn how much you will need?  For example, we ordered 3 cases of french fries on Thursday with another 3 cases coming on Monday...well we ran out of french fries today and had to get my sister in law to pick up MORE french fries!  But I guess we will get the hang of it soon.  Then I start to think about all of the french fries that WE go through a day and then places like McDonald's, Braums, Whataburger etc....where in the world do we grow THAT many potatoes????  Then of course that gets me to think about all the beef, lettuce, tomatoes and so on....then all the grocery stores.  It is just overwhelming...how and where do we grow this stuff, and you hear on the TV about overcrowding.  But then I see where we are living here in SW Oklahoma and the wheat and cotton fields that surround us, so there are other places that grow field after field of food and grain.  When you sit and think about it, you have to be proud to know a farmer weather he has cattle, pigs, chickens or he has fields of wheat, soy bean, corn, rice or whatever.  They are the ones who feed us and make it possible for us to have unlimited amount of food to be bought to feed our families. 

Changing the subject; today at The Dairy Freeze has been pretty good, this week was kinda rough, we had some bad weather come through and so that kept everyone home mostly.  But today at lunch we had a good run, I was glad to see that.  This evening I hope that it picks up and we do well.  Curtis has had a good day I think, he was able to take some time and go with one of his brothers to look at an old car and they came by and Brandon smoked the tires!  So they had a good time and tonight Curtis is going to the Chamber banquet. 

So this has been a good day.

Here we are finally!

Our big day was January 13th, and boy did everyone turn out!  At one point we had 23 cars and a semi parked around the Dairy Freeze and a line that went out the door!  It was like that for about 3 days and we ran out of food 3 times!  Never did I think that chicken strips would go so fast and fried pickles!  We sure was happy to see everyone and very happy that everyone turned out to see what we had done to the place.  Since then it has leveled off some and we have our rushes, but all in all we are doing good and hope to continue doing well.  We started off with about 22 items on our menu but that quickly grew into many more items.  If we have the ingredients here we will fix it, so if you want chili on your burger we will fix it for you or if you want cheese on your fries and chili we will do that too all you have to do is ask.  The first week for me I was so tired and thought many many many times....oh gee what have we done?!?  But after that first week, I am not so tired after being here from 9 am till 10:30 or 11pm.  I go home and then I am wide awake for a little bit then I go to bed.  I think Curtis is having the time of his life and he is happier now than I have seen him in a long long time.  So for me, that is all that matters as long as he is happy and content.

I hope you have had the opportunity to come to The Dairy Freeze and try some of our food, I think it is pretty good and we have had people from Lawton and Wichita Falls come to try it and there were some people that were from Durant that was driving thru and stopped to eat, I hope they tell their friends about us!  But if every you eat here and there is a problem we want you to come and tell us, because if you don't then we won't know there is a problem and we won't know to fix it...so don't be shy just tell us.  Some I think that is would hurt our feelings, but it would hurt our feelings more if you didn't.  We want to serve good food and want to have good service, so please tell us the good, the bad and the ugly!

Well I think I better head back and get busy...so come on down and see us!  We have coffee and hot chocolate that will warm you right up and hopefully soon we will have our icecream!!!

See you there!
