There comes a Time..
For gratitude, grace, work, enjoyment, frustration, relaxation, retirement, sorrow, and joy. I could go on and on, but you get the message. Somehow we all know when it is time for certain pathways in our lives to open up new doors and new experiences. Since opening our doors to the community and visitors over a year and a half ago Hazel and I have enjoyed all of these emotions and more. We have learned so much about our community and our neighbors by having the privilege of living and working Creek Tasting House. Over a month ago Hazel, the Mom, in this mom and pop operation woke up in severe pain and has been at multiple Phoenix hospitals since October 3rd.. After multiple hospital experiences she is gaining strength and expected to be back to our home at the Tasting House in another week.. The purpose of this post is simply to express our deepest gratitude for all the wonderful people who have stopped in and expressed well wishes, prayers, and thoughts for Hazel's quick return and recovery. I grew up in a small town in Nebraska and moved to Scottsdale in 7th grade. So I have considered Arizona as my home. Hazel and I have lived and worked all over this wonderful country. From Hawaii to South Carolina and parts in between during my career in Hospitality work. We have never found such a welcoming warm and sincere community in all of our travels. Thank you Cornville Community.
On another note, as a result of this latest health event we have elected to offer the Tasting House for sale. I didn't want the followers of this post to hear it through the rumor mill which we know is active in our small town.. Life's events simply have a way of speaking to you. If you haven't visited us we hope that you do. We will be open for the foreseeable future and any updates regarding the sale of the property will be promptly passed through this posting out of respect for the wonderful people that follow our activities.
