Hello, Kernville Knation!

Well, here we are, it’s February 21, 2009, three weeks the ‘straunt’s been closed.  At times it seems like a very short time and at others it’s seems forever.  In our conversations, Kathy and I agree that we miss the people, our guests and our crew and our suppliers, but we don’t miss the work all that much.  We hope you’re all doing well.   

Four years… make that five if you count the year that I managed the place for Beverly.  It’s amazing how much time a business like “The Kernville” actually takes.  So, now that I’m not spending all that time at the restaurant, I find there’s so much for me to do around the house… well, long story made short, we haven’t gone anywhere that could remotely be construed as a “vacation”.  And it looks like we won’t be taking off any time soon, either.  So, I find myself driving around the area, from Newport to Pacific City and realize that this is a wonderful place to be.  I see things daily as though through “new eyes”, the eyes of someone who perhaps has never been to the Oregon coast before.  A new appreciation for the blessings we take for granted in our daily lives here.   

There’s no news to report as far as opening a different restaurant here.  Stay tuned for the next exciting episode. 

Our best wishes, always, to you all. 

John & Kathy & Novia
