It has been brought to my attention that I haven’t blogged in a while. And yes, I haven’t blogged in a while because I’ve been swamped. But the icy weather has made things slow enough that I can sit down and catch everyone up on what’s new.
To start, I have updated the home page of [...]
I’d like to thank all of my family and friends who have lent a hand in helping to make Joan of Arc a truly amazing place for everyone to enjoy. Joan of Arc was truly built with a lot of love and care and without these people this couldn’t have happened. I couldn’t thank you [...]
Today was our fourth day of business and we’ve had a very good few days. We haven’t done any advertising but we’ve had good foot traffic. There are so many sweet wonderful people who live nearby who are wanting to support me and I couldn’t feel more blessed. I have 2 absolutely wonderful employees, Joel [...]

Though this weekend I found out that Lowe’s mixed my paints wrong somehow so my walls are duotone. There will be more painting, and hopefully after 5 [...]
I just went by today to check to see if the water heater has been replaced…and it was! I have now applied for my certificate of occupancy and will start remodelling next week (if I can get the place insured)! But regardless, my electrical inspection is on Monday so then I can get electricity and [...]
