Umpleby's Bakery & Café

Mary Keefe, the woman who modeled for Norman Rockwell’s famous painting “Rosie the Riveter” recently passed away at the age of 92.   She was living the last years of her life in my hometown of Simsbury, CT.   In the painting she is holding a ham sandwich so to honor her we are re-naming for at least a few weeks the #3 Rumpole Ham Sandwich after her.  The obituary of her is very interesting, I recommend you all read it.   Another connection to that time period in our history has ended – very sad.

We’ll be closed tomorrow because we’ll be too busy going on Easter Egg Hunts and eating chocolate.

We hope you all have a Happy Easter!

The sun is out and most of the ice has melted on our patio.  Come have lunch outside today here at the cafe!
