A Blessed New Year to You All!

We wanted to take a  moment to, once again, thank all our loyal customers who came to visit us at Potters Way.  We are always reminded of the purpose for our existence when we see so many people that come to see us.

As always, we also have to thank our family and friends who help prepare and run the place while we are open.  It can be a tremendous amount of work and we couldn't without you all.

Towards the end of 2010, our family sustained a major loss with the passing of both our Grandma Evelyn Rodine and Grandma Dorothy Seefeldt.  Grandma Rodine helped us out in our first year by being our greeter.  She greeted each and every visitor with a greeting that she wrote:  "Welcome to Potters Way.  Come in, look around, and spend the day."  She loved being on the farm and fit right in at Potters Way.  She was proud to be a part of the business and we were honored to have her.

Grandma Seefeldt played a number of roles at Potters Way.  For those of you who enjoyed our Sunday special of homemade pumpkin pie, you tasted what a great cook she was.  She also made lefse with Cousin Sadie during our first Christmas season.  She even volunteered to wash windows when we were getting ready for opening each year.  She was always there for us, jumping at the chance to be helpful.

The passing of them both so close together has been difficult for our family.  They taught us all so much, but especially to treasure and hold tight to family.  We will greatly miss them both.

We wish you all a blessed and prosperous new year.
