They hope to open late this month and be back at Brownwood maybe the last Saturday of March, or first one of April.

What a resilient couple. I look forward to their return.
Oh thank you so much for your reply. Resilient for sure, and HARD WORKERS; any baker has a very hard job, I worked in a home town family bakery after school, cleaning the large sheets.. every time I felt sorry for myself I thought about the baker who worked all night and day. We did realize how blessed we were that we did not have to buy bread , cakes, and danish in the grocery store ! I can't wait for the Pink Tent again, and some cranberry walnut, Kalamata olive bread, some God's bread, and croissants, and cheese danish, and.... and ... and LOL !
