CEDAR MOUNTAIN CAFE

Lucia Gerdes, owner of the Cedar Mountain Cafe gave an update on the hours & days at the cafe: "We are open 5 days a week from 9-6. We are closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. We decided not to open our dining room at this time. However, we have plenty of dine-in options between our patio and the tent we erected in the yard for people to dine in. For on-site dining, we have erected an order tent in the yard where people can order food and drinks before they sit at a table.

Other than the safety measures we are taking for COVID-19, a few other big changes are that we serve breakfast all day! (We may run out of some things later in the day like biscuits, but you can order off the breakfast menu all day). We don't allow dogs on the patio, but we do allow them under the tent. We also updated our menu by having lunch and dinner on one menu and added a few changes to our breakfast. We also have frozen dinners like lasagnas, meatloaf, risotto, and Indian Butter Chicken designed to feed two that can be ordered and picked up.

We have also picked up some hand sanitizer and laundry detergent that can be ordered off our online menu. Online ordering can be found at https://www.toasttab.com/cedarmountaincafe/v3."

Folks can call the Cedar Mountain Cafe at (828) 884-5272.

AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Young

I’m beginning to feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone (old TV program). You’d think the days would go by slowly but the weeks and days just seem to be melting away and fall is just around the corner. I sometimes lose a day and more rarely gain a day. It’s a good thing my laptop shows the date and time and even then I think it has be wrong. I laughed years ago when my husband bought a clock that showed the date and day of the week along with the time. It quit working or I would be using it.

Thank you for reading The Cedar Mountain News. Your contributions are encouraged and welcome. We’d like to hear what’s going on if you would like to share. Please email your news or any questions to cedarmountainnews@gmail.com by Monday evening.
