Well, my heart's a bit broken: The Bear Creek Cafe is closing.

Several years back, my sister-in-law gave my wife and me a gift certificate to the Bear Creek Cafe. We fell in love with the cafe immediately. It became our special place (and no, they don't serve wings and it doesn't bother me a bit).

If I somehow ended up with a weekday off, Annie and I would slip up there to enjoy the great food and wonderful service. We always sat (as luck would have it) near a window, where we could watch the local wildlife. There might be deer along the creek, birds lighting on the feeders, or squirrels playing in the grass. When we were there yesterday, there was a duck waddling out of the creek to explore the creek bank.

I don't really know why they are closing...the notice taped to the counter near the cash register cited "circumstances" ...but March 30 is their last day of business. There are many places I'm fond of...but the Bear Creek Cafe had a special place in my heart.
