Well, it has happened. That which we thought nothing about has happened. JP's has been sold and a new owner will take over the space in October of 2011. Their restaurant will be a wonderful new concept for Cannon Beach and JP's will cease to exist. I have to tell you that while we absolutely LOVE our guests, Bill and I are pretty happy about the changes. We have worked very hard to have the kind of restaurant we could be proud of. We have been blessed with wonderful, wonderful long time customers and life long friends have been made. It is a bittersweet time of saying goodbye and letting go. Our employees have been loyal to the end with a couple of exceptions.
The future brings a plethora of plans and options. We will not be in the restaurant business but we will be staying in the community. We will get little jobs that will allow us to explore other facets of our lives. The kids are grown and most are off on their own adventures. Bill and I are making plans for a month long vacation in Greece thanks to the generosity of our guests. We are selling raffle tickets and three lucky people will win the seafood chowder recipe. We are also selling some of our most popular recipes. We have commemorative glassware and all proceedes will be used to go to Greece and find the home and family of Bill's grandfather. What a wonderful adventure and what a wonderful end to this phase of our life. Thank you all for your love and support. We have loved being a part of your lives. This blog will end but you can find us on facebook if you would like updates. www.facebook.com/jpsatcannonbeach Hope to see you there.
