Phew. Well, 5 days and no major mishaps later, we've officially ended week number one. Things have been going really well and we feel truly welcomed by our new neighbors. Thanks to all of you who have come in already! We hope to see you again soon. Our hours thus far are Monday-Friday 7am-3pm and Saturday 8am-2pm. We will be CLOSED this Monday, however, in solemn observance of Presidents' Day. Nah, really, we just need another day to finish up some things around the place . . .

In all of our haste in trying to get the place finished we didn't get much of a chance to publicly recognize all the folks who have helped us along the way. Thanks to our friends and family who have helped us with both sweat and real equity. We especially want to thank Grandpa Pat, Noni Carolyn, and Nana Gabriela for taking time out of their lives (and traveling thousands of miles) to come and help us. We couldn't have done it without you. To Opa and Abuelita Lin, we hope you'll be able to visit us soon and see what you've helped us accomplish. We miss you all!
