The Last Blast!!!

So today was the last family blast for a while. The new baby was baptized and we had a great celebration after the ceremony. I am going to miss everyone so much!!! My sister in-law is following us back for a few days to have some vacation time in our new home front. She will also be bringing "Little Miss Responsible" back to Pa with her. She has had enough of Florida and is ready to stay in PA.......So finally... "The Soup King" has agreed to let her return for her high school career. I am going to miss my baby but I guess people send their children to boarding school all of the time so maybe that's how we will treat this new adventure!!!

Everyone was there at the patyt. Well, everyone we wanted to spend time with. It was great!The "Little Ones" were swimming and having fun with all of their cousins! "The Boy" was at the shore for the weekend with our PA neighbors and he had a blast....he got to the party late but he still held his new cousin! I even got a picture!

We have spent time with so many people during our visit. It definitely makes it hard to want to go back. Of course there are people around who we really rather not cross paths with but that is such a small issue compared to our heartache to be away!

I am still working on finding a PA location for another store so we can be close to our family! That is just so important to me. I want all of the "Little Ones" to grow up knowing that at the end of the day your family is what counts. It's unfortunate the "The Soup King" does not have that kind of bond with his family. My family despite any differences are always there even when we are angry at each other or disagree about things. Family is unconditional, well on my side any way!

"The Soup King" is anxious to have his family back in the same house with him...we have been gone for about six weeks. I think he is just tired of doing his own wash! (hee-hee) we all miss him very much so it will nice to see him again! As different as we are i still love him! besides, he is really cute! I will not be back in the store to work til the 24th when all of my "Little Ones" return to school. "Muscle Guy" has informed me that two new individuals have joined our team. Can't wait to meet them and see how they are working out.

Sounds like the special for the week will be Cream of Onion. I made lots of soups why I was here for everyone to taste and they can't wait for a store to open. No, I didn't share any recipes......that would only be done by someone who is spiteful and nasty!!!! "The Soup King" is working on a cookbook that maybe one day will be available for all.....we will just have to wait and see.

The fall brings a very busy buzz to the store so I am sure that he is eager for all of us to return so we can help out at the store. Well I will keep you posted on how our 16 to 18 hour drive was with all of the "Little Ones" and our new guests who have decided to take a chance at this new adventure!!!! Keep a weathered eye on the horizon!
