End of Summer update!

Life at Market Street at The Hughes Building approuching seven months after a long and insane summer on the Island.
Well, obviously I have been too busy to keep up right these past months and much has happened so lets catch up shall we?
Well, I made some job changes that where much needed and now don't have the drive over the cause way daily anymore. Yes, I have the Island fever can't pass the cause way " 61st? really? But that 3 miles is SO far to drive!) mentality that I have learned many islanders get. Michael refuses to succumb to it and encourages me ( or is that demanding?) to not lose my love of travel ....even if only to Houston.
This early summer an opportunity came up for a new venture....adventure....still not quite sure what to call it. The oasis closed it's doors...I foolhardidly said " heck, let me have a try!" well running a restaurant is tough stuff! For one thing...it's WAY more expensive to run than i SO in two weeks didn't think about. Second....I love to cook but not as a job...lesson learned! And third I learned I was sick of being tied down ( ummm, except in marriage...love you sweetie=) missing fun things and flexible life and community events and....well, sleeping in! Actually though two months went by living on an island and not seeing the beach...no biano. And then never seeing my husband and then also that NO progress happened at Hughes and Michael struggled to do it all in his own business.
So, three months of a cool new " now i can say I did it" venture and Oasis is closed again. Many kudo's to those who make it happen but I prefer to sit and enjoy a restaurant....and pass the hat on owning one. It was fun, it was cool, it wasn't for me. Check Please!
So we started September back to focusing on our priotorities, US, business and Hughes. We have been doing pretty good too...I mean believe me we are behind and catching up now and stressed and all fun stuff but heck...on our way! So week one i began getting dirty and sweaty pulling weeds by hand and cleaning the back yard. Still amazed that we have a 3000 square foot back yard behind a warehouse building that isn't just a parking lot either in down town. We have power washed and still doing so and getting things a bit more moving forward. There is now an outdoor shower and bathroom...yeah for plumbing!
