…the day Moondance Diner opened its doors for business. At 5:30 am Monday morning, we will begin serving great coffee and delicious breakfasts. We are so excited for this day! We have so many people to thank for getting us here. We hope everyone gets a chance to visit us and wants to come back for more. We welcome any suggestions to make us better. Like I have said before, we want our guests to know we appreciate the company and the conversation and we want to give them great service and fantastic food. This will be quite a learning experience for Cheryl and I and we will do what it takes to get it right. Most of all we are looking to have FUN! Please stop by to see us.

I guess everyone has reasons for taking risks and working on making their dreams a reality. I know for Vince and I, as we are now in our mid-thirties, a day does not pass where we do not think of our children and what opportunities we may help them discover. I want the best for them. One of my concerns while taking on this endeavor has been any consequences to our family and time that we are so very accustomed to. I have been so proud of our son Mathiew, aged 9, and Ruby, aged 5 because they have adapted very well to the less than subtle intrusion of Moondance Diner in their lives. They are excited about our opening and already picture themselves sharing in the responsibilites. Beyond their ideas for the menu….they have shared their enthusiasm with friends and family. We have truly enjoyed some of their commentary and ideas to make the Diner a special place. Ruby dresses up in an apron and chef’s hat often and spouts “May I help you or what would you like to order, mam/sir?” Mathiew has often held high regards for the cashier position…. indicating he would like to be the ONE to take the money! Our nephew Tanner has come up with an item called egg on egg… look for it to be a special. I have high hopes for Tanner taking a comfortable position on the line in the kitchen. His brother Teagan takes time out of his busy day in 1st grade to market the Moondance and get everyone excited about the opening. (although the date was incorrect he certainly keeps up the interest!)This is a blessing to have their support and encouragement… yet I am aware that once we open that will be the true test! Mathiew said it best one time shopping in a department store…. several people had pulled us aside and asked about the Moondance and expressed their excitement. After about the 5th person had stopped us to chat he looked up at me and asked, “Mom do you remember the time when people didn’t know us nor about the Moondance Diner?” I thought about it and decided how significantly our lives will change.
The Glass Block Wall
Posted by Cheryl on 12 Dec 2008 | Tagged as: Restoration
Once the memories of moving Moondance from NYC to Wyoming had slightly faded, I decided it was time to ask once again that Vince become more involved with the reconstruction… (which in itself is an irony as he has put in a lot of hours helping finance this project as well as putting up with any stresses I may be having and feel he needs to be privy to). So be it; the question as to how to incorporate the original glass block into the reconstruction and our new “moon room” addition. As indicated in the Bushbaum editorial by Frederic Schwartz, “The Mechanics of Taste”, glass block was a frequent and interesting feature in many of Bushbaum’s projects. We felt it would have a welcome place in the Moondance once again and Vince came up with the idea to create a suddle separation of space using glass block. Only witnessing the process of laying glass block once by an experienced mason, he started with less confidence than he was comfortable with. The fact that he only had small sperts of time alotted by his regular job hauling water for the energy industry in La Barge, made this project seem to take longer. Yet with suprising ease he created a unique and defining atmosphere in the Diner; block by block. Our son Mathiew also devoted some of his time to assist his Dad. Once the glass block wall was complete I wasted no time in asking for a smaller version to be a support base for the Crosley Jukebox. He obliged. It is a wonderful feature and I am so proud that he stepped up to the task… he’ll have a seat reserved just for him at Moondance!
