The Farmwife Kitchen must say goodbye. This past year has been hard for both businesses and households. The economy is rough and inflation is crazy. Now it’s time to be there for my family. I read something that said, “We only get 12 times to play Santa (Maybe), 13 first days of school, 12 or so Easter baskets, 20 tooth fairy visits, 1 first date, 2 proms, 1 graduation, 1 time sending them off to college, 1 chance to teach them to be good humans. The days seem long but the years are short. If this isn't perspective, I don't know what is.” This is why I want to make all the memories that I can. We want to thank Friona and the surrounding communities for allowing us to serve you the past 3 years. It has been quite an adventure! Don’t be sad though, I close the doors with my head held high.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
