Jessica Brank: work

Hmmmm so what do you do while your at work?

Me?

I play around with my camera {which may or may not include falling off chairs with camera in hand...haha!}

*This isn't to promote my job, I just wanted to share something this week, since I don't have anything from my house!!*

{I love this}

{The back wall in the dining room}

{There is so many horns hanging around, do you think they'd notice if I brought a pair home!?}

{The best part, the food!}

{One of these little tasty treats equals 209 calories-before butter-...how did you know it's my favorite thing on the menu?}

{this may seem a little goofy, but I love this!! I have been playing with my settings...this is from one of the chandeliers in the dining room}

You may wonder what my boss thought about all this playing around??

Well, they approved!

{phew*sighs of relief}

{{I've been in hiding for the last couple of weeks}}....

I haven't been doing any decorating, sewing, crafting lately. This is where I've been.....

Work!! This is our family business.

I've been a glorified waitress since I was 12.

I am not posting this to drum up business or anything! I am simply telling you about what takes up about 75% of our time!

My parents {or my dad} had a dream for a long time about opening a restaurant. He loves BBQ and can cook too! So...in 1995 we opened our first little spot in downtown Sumner. {I don't have any pictures at the moment}.

In 2005 we relocated {North Sumner}.

My working family consists of, My Dad, Mom, Me, Sister, Brother.

On any given day, you walk in the office this pretty much what you'll find:

Yep, that's my big little brother surfin the web. If my dad were to catch him on the computer...he would say, "Here's my kids hard at work again!"

We get off ~~the computer~~ our rearends and get back to work...

Only 10 minutes later to find my dad....surfin' the web!!

Ha! We won't go there!

So here is some pictures of our place.

The Banquet Room

Yep...this ole boy is hangin over your head while you're enjoying some delicious slow cooked Brisket!!

{{I've made fun of him ever since my mom had the bright idea of decorating the banquet room with him!}}

Now on to the simplest-but my most favorite, and one of the most asked about part of the decorations...

These around 12 foot doors dividing the banquet room and dining room.

The other side:

The Dining Room Side

I can't remember the whole story behind them, but my grandma and mom found them in an antique store somewhere and my mom had them re painted. {they were extremely old...she just had them touched up}

If the restaurant ever goes down...then I'm claiming these doors! {{Just a joke Mom!!}}
