Crazy Days

Yeeeaaahhhh.....A new post is way way way overdue.

Things have been quite crazy around here for the last two weeks. I'm still trying to adjust to not getting up super early and going to market every weekend. Isabeau and I both had a week off from school right after my last day, which we spent packing and organizing stuff in the house. Despite not working at this time, I feel like things have gotten even more hectic...I just haven't had the energy to update the blog as a result.

The important stuff.
My last weekend as a manager for the CFMA has come and gone (two weeks ago..oops.), and as expected goodbyes are always bittersweet.The day started with Johnny and I, soon joined by Keri. Then Doug and Gail arrived and told me drop everything and I wasn't going to be doing anything for the rest of the day.

Then they gave the farewell gift.

Cute card , right? Showcasing the many long years I've been doing the farmers markets. Including the time I did a petting zoo for Doug and Gail some 17 years ago (top left).

But wait! This doesn't show the scale! I'll include a size reference for the next shot.



Bam


Doug towed me around the market gathering signatures and taking pictures with the entirety of the Mountain View Farms Market. I am going to need a photo hosting service for those, because it's something like 100 pictures.
Oh, wait! There were so many signatures that they had to use the back!


Yeah. Bittersweet. These last five years that I have spent as a manager have been some of the most valuable years of my life. It's had moments that have strained me as a human being, testing my limits, and even pushed me past those limits more than once. But the things that it taught me and the incredible people that I have met will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Auf Wiedersehen.



P.S.
Bonus Pics!



Rob and Eric. I would have had a hell of a time keeping my sanity if these two hadn't been around.
I'm gonna miss those ugly mugs...
