What a day. A day full of emotion, tears, happiness, and thankfulness.
As the Corral Crew awoke this morning, I couldn't help but think what would have been.
The hustle would have started at 7am with coffee to be made, stations to be set up, salads to get out, potatoes to mash, dishes to wash, phones to answer, final table settings to confirm, desserts to be plated, and all the finishing touches to be placed to serve our wonderful customers.
The smell of chicken and ribs would be flowing through town. Cars filling the parking lot with patrons entering to be seated and trusting us to host their family this Thanksgiving. Customers smiling with full plates, full glasses, and full hearts.
This is just a smidgen of the usual organized chaos that is Thanksgiving morning at the Corral. Each and every one of us thought about each and every one of you today.
A day full of emotion: Happy to see family that traveled from out of state, sad we couldn't serve our customers, exhausted from the past ten days.
A day full of tears: Missing the Corral, our staff, our customers, and the chaos.
A day full of happiness: Being surrounded by loved ones and connecting with our staff this morning to tell them we still appreciate them!
A day full of thankfulness: Thankful for our staff, customers, health, family, and the fact that no one was hurt in the fire!
Enjoy your families this Thanksgiving. Be grateful and eat plenty! Give that extra hug and spend as much time as you can together.
We are all together in spirit, God bless you all. Hugs!
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
