Yesterday was just plain brutal. 102 degrees, working the grills and selling brats, burgers, hot dogs, and corn for 14 hours.Every year we get less and less help. By the end of the night I was crabby as he!!. It was Sherry, my son and his girlfriend and me. My parents work the bar inside, with a couple guy's helping bartend. I told them at the end of the night, we will set up and work until 7 pm next year, but they have to find someone to take over and finish the night after that. If they don't find someone we will shut it down at 7. I've been dong it with my family for about 15 years, and I really enjoy it. I just wish we could get some help. Especially with the clean up. That is the worst part of it for us.
I have to give the Germantown, WI fire department credit. They were out every day for a week in close to 100 degree temps (including yesterday) hosing down fields and tree's so we could have fireworks safely.
On a positive note, we got one of our new chairs today. Sherry's chair finally gave up the ghost, so we went out to find her a new one. We ended up getting two new La-Z-Boy king size recliners. This chair is huge, which will be great for me.But Sherry is only 5'1", and she really looks tiny in it, but she really loves it. Mine will be here in a few weeks. I can't wait. I have never had brand new furniture. It has alway's come from relatives, or second hand stores.
