Do Good Restaurant
Share
Both racing home from work
Him with fire runs breaking up the productivity of the work day.
Me on a double shift
Pretending to be nice to a stream of post holiday customers.
The sky matching our moods >super< gray.
.
Our neighbors rolling up to pick us up
With dinner plans.
They have been telling us bits for years.
Each time struggling to find words
Yesterday, they settled with-
“You just have to see it-
It’s one of a kind-
Let’s go tomorrow.”
.
Following their hearts
The founders incorporating food with faith every step of the way.
Time after time, story after story
They listened, trusted and built
What they were called to do-
Do Good
A restaurant in a small farming town.
Everything tasting so real-definitely homemade with huge portions
And an impressive list of pies.
.
The look unique in and of itself-
From the counters to the ceiling
Across tables and along the walls
>Visual gems<
My favorite being-
Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper
In vividly bright and broad brush strokes
Filling the whole upstairs.
You can’t help but think, everything feels like it is suppose to be here.
.
But easily the most touching point-
A photo and story at each table
Changed out every month
With all the tips gathered helping the family in need.
Ranging from doctor bills, adoptions, fires, disease, all the unplanned
Month after month
Tens of thousands of dollars collected
Neighbors helping neighbors
People being given the opportunity to help in little and big ways.
.
As if the food, art and the community focus is not enough.
We walked out the back doors to the gardens.
*oh.my.goodness*
I >must< come back in the summer.
They are growing art!
The outdoor lighting winds you down the path of the rosary
Which intertwined with the stations of the cross
Plants tucked in every corner with identification tags
Everything with a purpose and place.
Oh and the splash pad
So perfectly incorporated
Merging pieces that don’t seem to connect-
If I told you out loud-
But connect so perfectly-
When you live the experience.
.
Bellies full and hearts happy
We jumped back into the car
Returning home long after dark
Yet
Things seemed brighter.
.
Our first adventure for the year.
