Here’s a couple of events to take note of here in Gardner this weekend!
These winter and spring storms have impacted blood donations drastically… 🩸
Who doesn’t love an 🐰 Easter egg hunt and helping to save lives!
Plenty of time to do both on Saturday!!
Have a wonderful Easter 🐣 weekend!

Hello my dear friends… today seemed like a good time to stop in to say hello, I have not forgotten you by any means (retirement has not been quiet that’s for sure) and to let you know how very much I think of you all especially on this first Friday of Lent!
Although I miss you and all the connections that occurred on these crazy Friday nights… I do not miss the anxiety that the photos below and this season of Fridays has historically created for me and the entire crew!! 🤣🤣🤣
I won’t miss the angst, tears, chaos, and yes the fight or two that would have been inevitable between 4 o’clock and 9 o’clock tonight, I won’t miss the clean up but I will deeply miss the end of the night when we all took a deep breath, laughed about it, relaxed and spent a few minutes enjoying each others company!
So tonight wherever you go… be kind! Because until you’ve experienced it you have no idea how truly stressful these days are on restaurants employees… Fridays during lent (especially the first one) were some of the hardest days of my life!!
The joke was never bring up the “L” word in front of Leann 🤣.
Hope you all enjoy this blessed season and I am looking forward to better and warmer days!

Sometimes life is hard but today reminds me that no matter what happens life is also filled with blessings and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to tell you all what a blessing you have been to me!
Wishing all of our Every Buddies family the most magical and blessed holiday season! 🦃 🎄 🎉

What an amazing gift from Mark Klotka... so grateful that Jerry and Michelle invited him to be a part of our Every Buddies family.
This video is a tribute to more than just Every Buddies.
It highlights our community, small town living and the fact that nothing can compete with it.
It is approximately 45 minutes long... I know he had to edit and cut things to keep it from being too long... although I could have watched it forever!
The first time I watched it I couldn't breathe I was crying so hard, but I keep watching it and feeling more love with each viewing.
There are no words to thank Mark (& Jerry) and everyone who participated. I love the memories and best wishes...
I know that some of you weren't there that day to participate or maybe did but it didn't make it to the final product...
PLEASE I would looove to hear your memories so FEEL FREE to share them with me in words or video in the comments... or a separate post.
This is something I will treasure for the rest of my days.
Missing that Every Buddies Family Vibe!
Enjoy this... take your time watching it and again thank you from the bottom of my heart!

DESCRIPTION: EP. 21 Season 1 - “Every Buddies: Because It Really Was”So here’s the deal — Every Buddies wasn’t just a bar, it was the bar. You know, that one...

10/30/2025

Today I am stopping in to let you know... I haven't forgotten... life has just been as much of a challenge to get through day to day outside of Every Buddies as it was inside of Every Buddies.

The month has been filled with...
WORK... took us til the 11th of October to get the building completely emptied.
Then had to get started correcting 21 years of neglecting life and my surroundings which includes purging all the extra stuff picked up along the way and let me tell you... you do not realize the stuff you accumulate when you say "I'll deal with it when I have time"!!
CHANGE... because I am still living everyday like I have a deadline to meet and need to prep for a weekend full of activity... when it hits me that I don't need to rush anymore, I put my head into that work I mentioned above. I'm hoping that feeling of not getting it done in time subsides... it's a kind of dread I won't miss.
GRIEF... leaving Every Buddies has a grief process all its own, but we also lost Dean's best buddy, a man very loved by the Rankovich family, John Airgood. Learning life without him has proven a little tough.
There has been an unmeasurable amount of loss to our Every Buddies community in the last month...
I offer my deepest sympathies and certainly hope the happy memories can comfort you and eventually replace the tears.
I see you and my heart is with you.
LIFE... there's just always something getting thrown at you and regardless of what you're going through or doing, you have to make it through it all!

💙🩵I have something very special to share later and I would like for all of you to share this post to get me back into the algorithm so that when I make my next post this special gift will get seen.

🤠Knockin' Boots has made their debut, I know they have fantastic food and they are great people.
I'm sure there will be kinks for them to work out, I ask that everyone be patient... nothing was perfect for us either when we reopened and it took a long while to find our perfect crew and groove.
Eventually I'll be sharing a seat next to you but right now not only is my plate ultra full but emotions run very high. I am extremely aware that being inside those walls and the memories that will surface will overwhelm me and trigger a breakdown that no one should bear witness to! 🥲
In the meantime please grace them with the patience and understanding that you always provided for us.

Love to you all... I promise I won't be this quiet forever! 😎

Ugh!! 😩
I wanted to stop and let you all know that I have not had much time to read many comments on my posts for a loooong time but the few I have, have been so heartwarming… I WILL READ THEM ALL… when this move is done.
They will soothe this soul of mine!
Also we have not had the time to do our drawings either…. I promise we didn’t forget. I’ll post that when we do it. May be a week or two. So many more things to tie up. I promise I will get them to whomever wins!
It’s Friday. It’s a hard day for me. I’m usually prepping for the weekend and wondering what kind of craziness is going to occur, looking forward to being with my people… I will miss that familiarity.
All of this is so much harder than I thought it would be … every single step brings another tear.
Even though we aren’t here to serve you, I certainly do wish everyone a very amazing weekend. It’s gonna be a warm one.

Been a tough few days and it’s going slow… anyone who knows me knows I’m not the one to do ‘clean outs’ cuz I have to stop and think about all the memories attached and give honor to them… here’s one I hope we don’t have to relive but I love that we did our best to make it fun for ourselves.
💔😢🩵💙
