Got back from peaceful, blissful Strawberry to the insanity of finishing the build out of our new space and move into it. Construction is the same everywhere and the idea of getting done as promised on budget doesn't really occur to them (at least from what I hear this is a true generalization and in this case it took some unnecessary yelling and screaming to get it done and unfortunately construction will continue well after the move which is what we wanted to avoid). The move went better than expected but was EXHAUSTING... we had the help of several SPECTACULAR friends and some great movers. We are ready to open on Monday and I am very happy to move on from our old place. It was good to us and had a special charm but we outgrew it and where we are going to is clean, efficient, not falling apart and much bigger. We were able to make it have charm in so many ways and at least it doesn't rain in it when it is raining outside, there is new plumbing and the floors are level.
YAHOOOOOOOOO... end of one era and the beginning of a new era!
In the midst of this a beautiful young woman died unexpectedly. I will miss her and fear for what will happen to her family in her absence.
