They used to cry and carry on when Bob would take out his guitar and I’d start to sing. When I first entertained the idea of home-schooling, I had the notion I’d teach my kids to be musical wizards.

#SapBush Saturday Special Oct 1, 9-2
AT last! We’ve tried running this menu three times now, and each time we’ve had to pull it. This is it! We’ve finally scored enough eggplants, and we’re gonna make it happen! DON’T miss this moussaka…We’ve worked hard to be able to have it this week!

Sap Bush Cafe Closed Saturday September 10th
We’ll be taking Saoirse & Ula to shearing school in Vermont. See you next Saturday!
The Wonky Croissant
