3 days in and I'm having a ball

It's great running the business! A little overwhelming at times, definately have lots of balls in the air during the busy class times... but, it's great!

For all intents and purposes we are the new owners. Our last meeting, on Aug 31 we sat on the porch, beers open, signing papers. After dinner and drinks with the 3 head teachers and the big boss it was time to go. He walked to the car with us, opened up his trunk, and handed over the "top secret envelopes", as he laughingly called them, and said he wanted a hug from me! With that he was off on his 2 week vacation! He'll still be around, but travelling and enjoying his retirement more. The first day in the office, sitting in his chair, at his desk, while I was all alone in the school.... it felt a bit sad to me. This is his office..... Ya, I was sad. I'm going to miss him. What a great honor, to be given his business. The business he gave birth to. He came to America, and had the drive to start a school.... he's been running this since I was born, my entire lifetime. That's a long time.

He's called us a few times at home, once at school... not to check up on us... as he said, he knows his place... but really just to see how we were getting along, and to offer any help or advice if we needed. sigh. Well, we're having fun... and making money along the way... heh... that's always nice!

Now, it's on to our long, fun, gorgeous weekend!
