Light posting tonight

We finally close on Crossroads Grocery this coming Friday (took a while to get the Beer/Wine permits) so I have been really busy - that and closing out Probate on my Mom's estate. Been spending six to ten hours in Bellingham running around getting the last little details taken care of while Jen has been working with our vendors to facilitate the changeover (we have a LOT of vendors!) We are also planning a nice trip next week -- a long-time friend of the family passed away earlier this year and the memorial service is on October 5th in Connecticut. Jen, my Dad and i are flying out for this but we are spending another ten days driving through New England. I went to school at Boston University and spent quite a bit of time in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont so we will be revisiting a lot of old haunts right in the middle of prime fall foliage season. My Mom and Dad also spent a lot of time there during WW-II and vacationed there back in the 60's and 70's so he is looking forward to this trip as well. Jen has never been out there so this will be new for her. Anyway, we met in town for our weekly acupuncture treatments, had a nice dinner and I am looking at surfing a little bit, having a glass or two of some nice wine, checking email and heading off to bed for an early morning tomorrow -- the Llamas need to be fed (two person operation), the Goats will probably need feed and water as well -- we are still running a farm as well as all the rest... Sleep is highly overrated.
