Hi, and thank you for choosing

Antonio’s today!

Pictured above is Hazel and me. Hazel came into our lives 11 ½ years ago in April, 2015. The person that helped me shear our flock of sheep at home came from western Pennsylvania. Every year he was accompanied by his faithful Blue Heeler. That year was a bit different as he also had a pen in the back of his truck and within the pen sat a small puppy. My three kids were all playing in the backyard and came over to see what we were looking at. The shearer asked me if the kids could play with the puppy while we got started on the shearing. 

     We already had two dogs, so I figured what could be the harm? Within five minutes the kids were in the barn asking questions about the puppy. The shearer explained that the puppy was the runt of the 5 in her litter, and the other 4 had been dropped off at their new homes on his trip up. With that, we got back to the business of shearing. Every 5 minutes for the next hour the kids asked if we could adopt the puppy. I grew tired of the interruptions and said the classic, “go ask your mother”. I was shocked when 5 minutes later they came back and said “Mom, said it’s fine with her if it’s okay with you”. I stormed into the house and was told that if I wanted a “bad guy”, then I could be it.
Hazel, was the best decision I didn’t make! ??

     Well, here I am at the bottom of the page, but there is still room to thank you for choosing to spend your time and money here at our local restaurant. We consciously try to support our local farms and purveyors, and appreciate you choosing us. On behalf of my family at home and my family here at the restaurant, thank you for all of your love and support. We truly appreciate you!
