Okay so... two things.

One, the Diner formerly known as Maryanne's Vittles, is now Southern Bel's and is now finished and in working order. You'll notice a huge difference in the place, it looks more like the front porch you'd see on a Cedar sided farmhouse. And while everything looks all rough and splintery I assure you everything is sealed and sanded. My boys have tested it, and it has the 'look mommy I can take my own diaper off and run around naked' soft butt approval. I'm hoping it will seem much more homey and less like the cold 50s diner.

And yes, I know I spelled Belles wrong. I did it on purpose.

Two, so far it looks like everyone else has their beautiful faces back. And... I'm still wearing this one.

So... Hi, for those who don't know me, I've been here since the beginning. I am Maryanne Elizabeth Barton-Stark (formerly Walker). You may have to get used to this face, as much as I am.

On the upside I don't look like my Dad's side of the family anymore.

	I still have a new face, too. And I am happy to help out with the diner when needed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'll take all the help I can get. I kinda feel like I chased people off closing it up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can help some in the kitchen but I can mostly clean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why do you mostly clean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmeelly 2016-06-02 01:00 am UTC (link)
	Because the last time I was in the kitchen by myself there was kind of a fire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh dear. Well cleaning is pretty helpful. How are you at chopping things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmeelly 2016-06-02 01:26 am UTC (link)
	I can chop pretty well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That will be equally as helpful. Because I'm either going to have to learn how to delegate, or figure out how to do without sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Delegating is the better of those two options. I can handle a lot of the prep work. The chopping and the mixing. It's just the actual cooking that gets me into trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not just the diner though, it's hunting and fishing and... all that too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmeelly 2016-06-02 04:56 am UTC (link)
	There are plenty of people that can help with that. You don't have to do it all by yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2016-06-02 05:03 am UTC (link)
	Not a whole lot of people listen to me anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmeelly 2016-06-02 05:05 am UTC (link)
	I can ask people to help if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2016-06-02 05:08 am UTC (link)
	Go for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
