❤️ A Little Update From Sue… ❤️
I know it's been a minute since you've seen us at the La Plata Farmers Market or found the doors of The Wicomico Beach Bakehouse open. Believe me, I truly expected to be back up and running by now.
For those who don't know, I've struggled with recurring urinary tract and kidney infections since my teenage years due to a condition called urethral reflux. More than 40 years later, those infections have become increasingly frequent and severe, and unfortunately, years of battling them have taken their toll.
After several rounds of oral antibiotics, hospital stay, and IV antibiotics, I am hoping, praying, and staying optimistic that my follow-up appointments this coming week will finally show that I am infection-free. That would allow us to move forward with the necessary testing and treatments to address the damage these many years of infections have caused.
Over these past several weeks, I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, concern, prayers, and messages from so many of you. I cannot begin to tell you how much that means to me. ❤️
There is honestly nothing I would rather be doing right now than firing up those ovens, getting my hands back into some dough, and opening the bakehouse doors to all of you. I miss the baking, I miss the Farmers Market, and most of all, I miss seeing your familiar faces.
But right now, as much as my heart wants to, my body just isn't quite ready.
Please know this is only a pause, not a goodbye. The ovens will fire up again, the smell of fresh sourdough & Pound Cakes will fill the bakehouse, and those doors will open.
I just need a little more time.
Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and for continuing to support this little Bakehouse on the banks of the Wicomico.
We WILL be back, and I can't wait!
See you soon! ❤️
Love,
Sue
