...is officially open for business!
Mom fulfilled her
lifelong weeks-long dream this weekend and opened the doors to her new bakery on Monday.
Andy, Sandy, and I made the trip back to Decatur to surprise her for her grand opening. It was a quick weekend, and in retrospect, perhaps not the ideal time to come home as there was still lots to do to get the bakery ready, but I think Mom was happy to see us...I think.
There were a lot of blood (I got a splinter on my finger while washing my great grandma's antique Hoosier Hutch), sweat (from lots of cleaning, sweeping, mopping, moving furniture, etc...), and tears (from working hard and sleeping little) but we got the shop into ship-shape condition and ready to greet soon-to-be customers on Sunday afternoon.
Mom is really,
really excited to be opened. With Phase 1 complete, she can now move on to Phase 2 of her project- installing bathrooms, and a kitchen so she can become a full-fledged bakery and cafe.
Congrats Mom and Dad! You have both worked really hard to get the store ready. I really hope Wildflour is successful. Afterall, my wedding money is tied up in this venture! So everyone visit Wildflour and buy lots of tasty goodies so someday I can have my dream wedding.
