SummerNy Ranch in AZ has Sold
After much discussion and thought, John and Cathy have sold SummerNy AZ. We are very thankful for all the memories there and for all of the people who helped us along the way to make it a success. As we get older, it is harder and harder to manage multiple sites and with better weather in CO, it was the better choice.
Cathy is looking at options for working in the winter in AZ and will keep this site updated.
Thanks to everyone who helped with SummerNy and we look forward to seeing you in Colorado.
