That pretty much says it all I think. Today, Monday, Labor Day is our last full day at Gerrish's Cafe in Winter Harbor. Tomorrow we leave for parts known and unknown.
Natalie will be taking on the responsibilities of the sandwich board as well as kitchen prep and most likely do some cooking as well (she's rumored to be quite accomplished in that are), so we'll spend a little time this morning going over some of the intricacies of getting the bread made every morning and prepping the sandiwch board. Exciting stuff, eh?
It's also a short day today: 9 am to 2 pm.
Yesterday it was just me, Guzel and Lidia, the last two Russians remaining here at Gerrish's. I'll have more to say about them later in the next week or so. (Jessica and Natalie were taking a much-needed day off. They won't have many now.) Suffice it to say we were busy on Sunday but somehow we all managed to get through it without any major crises or problems with the computer. And there was no gunplay or sharp objects thrown so that's certianly something to be happy about.
So after today there will just be four or five people at most working at Gerrish's: Natalie, Jessica, Rosemary and Guzel for sure and maybe Lidia. The cafe will have lost easily half its staff in less than a week's time. There will be plenty of changes to come over the next month or so, until the cafe closes after Columbus Day.
Or not. It is rumored that the cafe might stay open through the winter. Chi lo sa? Not us, that's for sure!
