Well its monday again and my turn in the barrel. It all starts with the cleaning of the hall, it usually takes about two hours
Come 9:00 I usually get my first customer. Every other Monday is also liquor order day. Had a big order this week in order to get
through New Years Eve. Later in the day we had a real interesting discussion on one of my favorite topics  The " Nu-Wave" oven.
I think some Monday I am going to bring mine down for a cooking demo. Tuesday is Coso shopping day for bar food. While in town
I went by the Post Office and checked out the the rules for Bulk mailing. Later tuesday night i started labeling and folding
the bulk mail letters. Wed. I cut 5 inches off from the metal door and got it ready for the cap. My grandaughter and her boy
friend spent most of the day with us. Had a great Philly Cheese and Fries dinner capped off with a fun night of Karaoke. During
the week we have had some good winners on the sweepstakes machines. Thursday we had a great free lunch and played Wham Bam
Bingo. Joyce was the big winner with three "jackpots". Went to town and picked up the metal cap and the material for the Bar lock
on the door. Friday  I finished the mailing, will go out on Wednesday. Friday nights dinner was a hit thanks to Jeanie and
the kitcen crew. The Queen of Hearts drew a great crowd for the 7:00 drawing. Muffy was the lucky person drawn to try and collect
the reward. Well the Queen is still on the loose because Muffy's pick of # 49 revealed the 8 Hearts. Saturday morning early
David Clausen won $100.00 on a pull tab,still have a $250.00 winner with very few tickets left. Speaking of tickets we have
New years Tickets on sale behind the Bar, $20.00 ea. Better get them, they are going fast. David did a repeat and hit the
$250.00 pull tab on Sunday morning.  I'm going to have to start issueing him a 1099. Will see evey one next week  HAVE A MERRY
CHRISTMAS.
