"I was not prone to drastic actions. I did not rush into the
unknown. After fifteen years as a more or less effective lawyer, I
approached decisions with a certain caution. I weighed not only the
pros and cons, but also examined all likely consequences and
reasonably foreseeable risks. Looking back, I wondered what could
have prompted me to take those initial steps down a path that would
alter the course of the rest of my life armed with only an
optimistic hunch and knowledge that turning back was not an
option."
Minnesota-born lawyer, Jeff, and his partner, Dean, enjoyed a
successful and fashionable life in London. They shopped at Harvey
Nichols, walked their dogs in Kensington Gardens, and vacationed in
France and Tibet. Yet, they dreamed of a new life. In January, Jeff
was promoted to a coveted position at his bank; in March, he
resigned. Jeff and Dean sold their house, packed the dogs, and
moved to the sleepy resort town of Hayward, Wisconsin, where they
acquired a nostalgic ice cream shop and rundown Victorian mansion.
"Scoop: Notes from a Small Ice Cream Shop" is the chronicle of Jeff
and Dean's first year in Hayward--how they are welcomed by a
collection of colorful characters and how they are humbled by the
challenges of operating both the ice cream shop and a bed and
breakfast. It is also a story of Hayward and how the traditions and
the stories of those who built the town helped our entrepreneurs
adjust to the rhythm of life in their new home.
Jeff Miller was born in Browerville, Minnesota. He spent years as
an international lawyer in New York, Hong Kong, and London. Since
2005 he has lived in Hayward, Wisconsin, where he operates West's
Hayward Dairy and McCormick House Inn.
