Hey everyone...
For the last few years, Dennis and I would weigh the pros & cons of being open..."one more year".
Sadly, this year, the cons list won. A lot of reasons (& tears) went into this decision. We have decided that it is time for us to move on and see what new & exciting things the future holds for "us"!
This little shop has been my "Baby". I have nurtured it and watched it grow.
It gives me great pride to say that only Good entered & exited my door. Nothing mean or hateful was allowed in! I am so thankful to have had this "happy place" in my life & the opportunity to share it with all of you!
It fills my heart with joy to reflect on all that I have been able to experience in that little corner of my world.
I have gotten to rekindle old friendships & make new ones.
I've seen romances blossom, new babies welcomed into families and been able to watch so many kids grow up.
I've watched my customers show support during illnesses & loss.
I have enjoyed SO many conversations with SO many people! (This is something that tugs hard on my heartstrings because I am going to miss "this" more than I can ever express in words.)
It has made me happy to be called "the Ice Cream Lady" by so many. I wore the title proudly!
Every person who entered my shop truly meant something to me. I tried to make everyone feel welcome. I hope I succeeded.
I pray that when people think back about The Sugar Shack~I hope they smile! And when they reminisce about the Ice cream Lady, I hope it brings an enormous grin to their face & maybe a giggle too!! ;)
It is very important to me to know that my little shop mattered, and together~we brought happiness to others.
The walls of the SS have been witness to so much laughter, and love and caring. For this I am very grateful.
Over the years, some of you have become "chosen" family. You know who you are.
