Our bodies are stiff, tired and exhausted. Who ever thought we couldn't pack our store in two days and be completely out of Waukegan Ave, hasn't met two stubborn people. We've done other crazy things like this before, but the years are gaining on us. Maelo our son, says to me while lugging a display case, "It's time you guys decide to stay for a LONG time". A man of few words and gets to the point.
Tomorrow morning it's back to the new location. Maelo took vacation days to help Jay hang the slat walls. He's a guy, but knows Jay likes to push himself. Turning 50 this year, Maelo is sweet and looks after him, from a distance but it's sweet he cares for us old out of shape people. Thank you Maelo, you are appreciated, loved and respected. What a great kid! And thank you to our other helpers Eric and Christine, you are loved and appreciated as well. Great people are hard to find.
I'll take pics of the store with all the boxed in the morning, mid day and at the end of the day. Stay tuned!
Lucy and Jay
