Dear
Friends,
We want to make sure you hear it directly from us.
Yes,
we are moving to Texas in October. We are moving to Fredricksburg. It is much
like Jackson, and is not seasonal, but year round. Many tourists visit there
each year and frankly, we fell in love with it! We found a 10 acre parcel and are excited
to start a new adventure there!
The
two most important reasons why we are leaving here are, #1, my mothers health is
declining and my father is in need of our help. She has pulmonary lung disease
and is on oxygen 24/7 and just had heart meds added. I am honored to be able to
care for her and my father in their time of need. I am also thankful that my
family, is very supportive on this move.
#2,
our family has tried our best to bring something great to this city. The Inn
and Kerasma has been visited repeatedly and often by many of you. We thank you.
Truthfully, we are tired of fighting over signage. Not with the state, but our
city. We lost a lot of business last year due to taking all signage down during
the Fourth of July weekend as asked by the city. We just haven't been able to
recover from it like we hoped we would. Location and signage is everything as
you all know. This little area is very difficult to make a living. So any help
given to us by several of you out there, we so appreciated it!
Due
to financial reasons and family health issues we need to move forward and do
what is best for our family.
Yes,
Chef Brittany will launch a new restaurant there! She talked with several who
know the area well and are thrilled that she is coming! The business will be
steady and it is a much appreciative audience from around the world.
Still
debating the Inn idea. There are many there already. So this may not be a good
financial move yet. But we will entertain it if the opportunity arises.
Several
of you have been to Fredricksburg and have told us your stories and what that
place means to you. We appreciate it very much. We have met kind people there
already who are so eager to help and see us succeed in this new adventure!
I
can't explain it, but It just feels right.
We
will be on a limited schedule with the Inn and restaurant. We have several
catering events this month and need to see these thru. Plus, we have a lot to
do by October. But we will try to give you our best and would love to have you
come and enjoy a meal or two before we go. Please be patient with us.
We
will be having an estate sale each weekend this month. This is not your usual
sale. This will include everything that the Inn and Kerasma have here. So stop
by each weekend to see what Greg has got out there and maybe it will be just
what you've been looking for. Prices are firm. All proceeds will go to help us
move and get started there. Hopefully, a good buyer will come along soon and
love the Inn and Kerasma just as much as we have.
Again,
we thank all of you for your support and friendship and wish you all success in
your endeavors.
Sincerely,
Greg,
Carol and Brittany Bills
and
for sure, little Miss Lily
