Hey guys, just dropping in for a minute, I've been doing a lot of lurking lately, but not posting, I'm afraid! Most of you know that my parents and I own a shoe store, and for the past just over a year, i've been splitting my workday between it and our bakery/catering service....well, tomorrow that comes to an end, because when we close the doors of the shoe store tomorrow night, it will be the final time. We're closeing the doors on a business that has been around for 35.5 years, and that I've been working in since I was 13.......24 years!! Going to be good things, and bad things about it, but, is part of life, eh?

I remember a while back you had posted that the shoe store was going to close.
Its been such a big part of your life -it will seem odd to no longer have that.
On the other hand how has the bakery/restaurant been doing???

Good to see you, Cindy!! I detect a positive note in your news, but even so it can't help but be bittersweet after all these years. I hope the positives outweigh the negatives.

I agree with the above two posts
Good to see you posting, let us know how the catering/restaurant business is going.

Wow, Cindy, this is such a huge step for you and your family. The opening of the bakery was another enormous event in your life. You're really undergoing alot of changes. A big hug coming your way and prayers for a peaceful transition.

Hello and thanks, my friends for the good wishes! The bakery/catering is going well, beyond belief, for that matter! Is just going to take some adjusting to not coming in to the shoe store every day, not to mention no longer working with/seeing my mom and dad every day, lol! We'll be closeing at 5 pm today, just 5 and a half hours, am looking at my day with both happiness and sadness, is both the end of part of my life, and a new beginning too.

Cindy, I've been wondering how you were doing. back! I imagine it's going to seem strange not going to the shoe store every day, though I'm sure you'll be plenty busy with the bakery & catering. How are your parents taking it?
