Greetings and Salutations -

Thank you all so much for your patience as I was mostly off-line these past two weeks! If you have never de-tethered before, I highly recommend building it into your schedule. The first few days were definitely stressful, as I expected an emergency to happen at any second. Then I was finally able to relax and trust that things would go well. The management team had everything documented in case of emergency, and as it turns out, the world turned smoothly. Which is great!

I was able to spend time with my mother and sister which was quite precious to me. My mom is about to move down to Florida after living near me and my sister for pretty much our entire lives. I will miss my Mom greatly once she's thousands of miles away. Also, my sister and I are not very close, and it was good to spend time with her.

It will take me a little time to catch back up on things. I will work diligently on that, with fresh energy and focus.

Thank you to the management team for covering issues while I was off-line.

I hope you are all having a wonderful spring!

Sincerely,


Lisa Shea, owner
