New additions to the SchierZenn Bistro!

Summer of 2012 holds some exciting additions to the Bistro! Treehouse builder, Dustin Feider, added beautiful planter boxes to the east end of the awesome deck he built last summer. Marge, one of the homeowners, added the finishing touches with a colorful variety of flowering plants.

On the west end of the awesome deck, Marge's brother, Gene Zenner, produced some fantastic landscaping. The project included flagstone steps, field stone, and a cedar wall to hide the view under the deck. Marge and Marge selected and planted colorful foliage to accent the beautiful landscape stones.

For the Pièce de résistance, Gene Zenner’s unique creativity and imagination came through and we are now enjoying the showpiece of the entire project! Gene decided on LED strip lighting to highlight the steps. It’s something that needs to be seen in person!!

The Bistro has certainly been busy this season, and it’s not over yet! Marge & Marge are enjoying the beautiful additions, and friends and family have filled the Bistro schedule with visits, dinner, and some just for drinks.

We believe the unique and special additions have created the most beautiful features that complement the deck and treehouse!

Come join us for a night!

Yours in Bistro happiness,

Marge & Marge

The Queen heard about the treehouse and stopped by for a visit!

WOW!

Staining, Sanding, Steel cutting and welding! I'm pooped!

It's coming!

What the heck has landed in the woods?

Marge likes to keep her eye on the prize!

It's not all about the deck and Dustin, what about Paula?

Getting ready for some staining!

Holy Mackeral Marge, you're so far away!

Getting ready for the final inspection from the Village

The Bistro

The bistro as we know it has come to an end. Stay tuned.

Deck Boards

We told Dustin the deck was supposed to be in the back yard! KIDS!!!

No Words Necessary

Happy 4th! Construction starts this week!!

Building Permit

The 2011 Bistro season is upon us, and Marge and Marge have an exciting surprise for their patrons! (Don't be confused by the names on the building permit, the Bistro owners had to use alias's to keep the paparazzi at arms length.)

The SchierZenn Bistro is in the midst of a complete makeover of the outdoor Bistro! Not only a deck expansion, it also includes a famous Dustin Feider tree house! His calendar has been pretty full lately so Marge and Marge booked him in early March to make sure they would finally get the long awaited treehouse masterpiece!

As soon as Dustin and Heather are back from their super secret commercial that they are filming in San Diego the magic will start to happen at the SchierZenn Bistro.

Take a good look at this bistro picture – it will be completely different

by the end of summer!

Signing off for today!

New SchierZenn Logo

This Christmas was pretty exciting at the indoor SchierZenn Bistro. Dustin was downstairs operating the table saw, band saw and other assorted power tools for a very long time. Lots of noise, secrecy and excitement going on down there! Now, Dustin has come up with some pretty amazing (weird) things in the past while he has been working feverishly in the basement, so we are always cautious about our excitement. But this year he outdid himself by his inception of the new SchierZenn Bistro logo. We have been asking him for years to create this logo but I guess he needed to be in the spirit, and in the space. Maybe it was extra special because both he and his girlfriend from Brazil were here for an extended stay so everyone was living the Bistro life. Anyway, as you can tell from the picture, we were elated.

First, we were wondering what it was exactly. It looked musical, which we loved, but not quite sure what else it was. Then Dustin pointed out the S and the Z creatively entwined together to form the SchierZenn Logo. Genius.

Bistro Updates - New for 2010!

Open toe shoe season will never be the same at the bistro! This year, bring your flip flops, shorts and tank tops along with your painted toes for a bistro season filled with fun, laughter, and exotic drinks!

In anticipation of the 2010 Bistro season, Marge and Norm have decided to go "full" bar. You thought last season had a full bar with just martinis and old fashioneds? Well, just wait! We have a real treat in store for the bistro regulars and the bistro virgins! Coming in Spring 2010: a variety of before, during, and after dinner drinks, to include, yet not limited to, some of the old time favorites!

Here we’re showing off our first shipment of exotic mixers for the new season.














There will be specialty drinks from Italy, Jamaica, and Ireland, and of course the old stand-by favorites for those of you averse to change!

To keep you warm through the winter season (until the bistro patio opens), the newest cocktail delight named “Heaven”, includes Tia Maria, Brandy, Irish cream liquor, hot coffee, and is topped off with vanilla whipped cream. This coffee delight will have you up all night sharing secrets and telling stories. Just remember, what is shared at the bistro stays at the bistro!

We are excited for the season to begin, so make your reservations now! The season is sure to be a hit!

Yours in bistro happiness,
Marge & Norm

Winter at the Bistro

The SchierZenn Bistro has closed it's outdoor seating area for the season. Up until the snow on December 9th the heater was used in full force but with the recent snow storm the patio has been officially closed.

Norm is enjoying the snow immensely as you can tell from the photo. She is off of snow blowing duty until her hand has completely healed and she has been released from the Dr. Marge is not very happy about this but will do what it takes to take care of the snow.

The indoor seating at the Bistro has quite beautiful ambiance especially during the holidays but you must call ahead for reservations as seating is quite limited. We are already booked for New Year's Eve. Sorry if you did not get your reservation in on time.

Re-Uniting

It's sad sometimes when it takes the death of a loved one to bring family back together, but if that's how it happens, seize the moment. Catch up, laugh, cry and then don't let the time slip by again. That is my promise to Kris and Herb. I always admired my cousin Kris and her husband Herb, and time hasn't changed that at all. We had the pleasure of their company at the SchierZenn bistro last night and it was spent trying to catch up on the last several years. It's clear that we need many more hours together to truly catch up. The weather was perfect for bistro virgins. Warm and balmy but just enough cooling down after dinner to enjoy a fire and a little more laughter. After they left I started searching my photo closet to see if I could find the Kris and Herb I remembered in my High School years, and as you can tell below, I found them! What is burned in my memory is the photo of them driving away on Herb's motorcycle. I think they were off to some commune, at least that's the romantic story in my head.

They haven't changed much - it is obvious how much respect and love they still have for one another. It warmed my heart to see that two people can still be just as much in love as they were so many years ago. Even after the stressful months they had caring for their mom, they still are filled with laughter and fun. And they still look exactly the same.

Ahhh, yes, the bistro has a magical effect on people and conversation; no matter what the topic is you know that you can be yourself and not be judged.
