Big day
As of yesterday, Alison owns both the coffee shop and the building it's in. To say I'm a proud mama is just the tip of this happy mama iceberg. We -- the girls, us, our whole family -- are in the midst of a big transition period, one we've been waiting on for quite a while. Everyone's prepared, doing what they're supposed to be doing, and the dominoes are finally falling -- I'm rather enjoying this like I do that -- the speed has quickened and soon the dust will settle. And then we'll start again. Heh. Well, this has been a long time coming -- begun even before taking over operations in February. There were doubts and tears and many frustrations -- I guess it wouldn't be any fun if it was easy.
I'm exhausted!!
It's a busy Wednesday, too. Spent some time with Mom today and running some errands, and spent a lot more time than intended with my new dentist (it's my own fault - ouch!); I'm also doing laundry and packing up some orders to ship, plus my car is getting new tires and an oil change!
I'm looking forward to some knitting this evening -- I started a new project yesterday!
Congratulations to Allison! I feel like we've gone through this process right along with you all and I'm so proud of her.

That is just amazing and wonderful and such an accomplishment for such a young person. All joys and, well, let's be honest -- there WILL be headaches -- but may the joys far outweigh the headaches. A toast to Alison!!!!!
