Extremely long post…sorry sometimes I tend to say way to much…So with that being said…
Hey everyone🤗 I have been meaning to hop on here and Thank everyone for all of your support over the years. I have loved cooking for you all, even on those crazy busy Sunday’s when I didn’t know if I could crack another egg or flip another omelette quick enough lol
For the past 29 years the Rooster has been my second home and I will treasure the friendships/memories that have been made. So many of you have become like family to me and the kids…I will miss seeing you and visiting with you every day. When I bought the cafe 12 years ago from my parents, I was a young mom of 3 little ones and was so excited for what the future had in store for us. My kiddos have grown up in the resturant just like I did, and we have so many great memories to hold onto! I know my kids never liked getting up super early to come to work with me, but it sure was great having them there to spend as much time as I could with them, teach
them to cook, bake, wait tables and interact with the customers. My kids are now in High School and I’m a single mom juggling 20 plates and trying my best to do it all on my own without having a nervous breakdown lol
Honestly I just knew in my heart that it was time to close this Chapter of my life and start a new one.
It was a very hard decision to make, and I knew a lot of people would be upset…But sometimes we need to put ourselves first and do what is best for our family, health, happiness and future. It’s been an extremely difficult month and a half trying to explain this to everyone, and I’m sorry but it was the best decision for me and my kids. To be honest, I have had a very hard time going out in public after work each day, due to the extreme anxiety I was having from all the judgement and talk. Yes I know people are going to talk about you no matter what lol but these things were being said directly to me. I was honestly shocked at some of the things people were saying to me…I can only imagine what was said behind my back lol🥴 BUT….Thank you to ones who have been nice and understanding, I appreciate you.
To the ones who came up to me with tears in their eyes and some even crying..I’m sorry..I did it for as long as I could.
I have truly enjoyed cooking for you over the years and I can’t Thank You enough for supporting my business so I could support my children..we have been so blessed.
And last but not least, I will still be available for catering, big or small orders welcome…I’m up for anything as long as I am available! I already have catering lined up in October with quite a few hunters from out of state🧡So definitely don’t hesitate to message(preferably on my personal page, as I don’t get notifications for the Roosters page for some reason)or call me if you need anything! Even if you are just wanting a pan of bars or caramel rolls🤗
With so much gratitude and from the bottom of our hearts…Thankyou💞
Steph, Thayne, Ava and Alyvia
