Well, things are moving along swiftly these days. Last Thursday we met with a supplier for breads. Nothing beats having fresh baked brick oven Italian breads to complete your homemade soup! The little ones demolished all of the samples that they left with us...who knew that they liked bread so much. The electricians have completed their work and the inspection has been done...Dry wall, well I am off the hook because I left town for the week! Besides the subs are basically done. The counter tops have been chosen and "The Soup King" is happy with the pricing so the template will be done tomorrow.
The menu is under construction and waiting for the right touch to really draw you in and make you want the soup now! "The Soup King", as I have said in the past, is very picky and only accepts perfection so I can not conquer the menu until I am in the right mood for writing! He just doesn't get it!
If all goes according to plan we are looking at an October 1st for our "soft opening". Remember, a working progress! "The Soup King" and I have plans for a great "Grand Opening" celebration.
During all of this work "The Soup King" has been left with the five little ones for the first time ever in fifteen years! And I think that is really funny! Running from one activity to the next, homework, and transporting everyone back and forth for school. It sounds like he is doing an okay job but the little ones are anxiously await my return this weekend! I miss them desperately! Of course I cannot deny that I am having fun visiting with everyone in my family...running from one soccer game to the next, bouncing babies and playing with nieces and nephews! Leaving again will be hard!

The Work is Underway!
So "The Soup King" has begun the next phase of construction for the store. Framing is not on my list of things to do!!!! He is on his own for that phase. Call me when I can shop for things for the store! Drywalling is next and I have already been informed that this will be a team project. Oh my! I think that "The Soup King" just wants to see what I can do so he doesn't have to support me any more.
We have also met with a food distributor sales rep which just did not seal the deal! "The Soup King" was not impressed with his presentation and half way through the meeting just stopped paying attention all together!! So needless to say we called his competitor and we have set up our account. It's all about presentation, says "The Soup King". He is the boss so what ever works!
On a personal note all of the little people are adjusting well to their new environment but mom is homesick! There has been a new baby back home and birthdays, it just is not fun missing everyone! I come from a very close family and do not handle change well on a good day, let alone 1200 miles away! So mom is taking a trip home alone, leaving all of the little people with "The Soup King" for the first time ever! Wish them luck!
