Where Did The Week Go?!

WOOF!  It's been nigh on a week since I've been here!  Well...I mean I've been here but not....HERE!  This past week has been a bustle of activity and I guess time just slipped past.  Have been meaning to pop in and update, but it's been one thing after another.  Some Good some not so good.
First the good.  Thanks to all the great folks coming in to visit and bring us a heapin' helpin' of re-pairs and well wishes.  Would have been great to have more stock to show all the interested parties, but as always as soon as i build 'em...they're gone!  And Saturday ESPECIALLY!  A complete sell-out!  All the adult bikes I had were gone by early afternoon, but have no fear, had the older boys up helping get more stuff prepped and I'll have them finished off by the end of the day!  Yep, as the oldest gets...well...older, he has been informed that in lieu of alternative employment he'll be schlepping it here at the family business.  I figure a week of dealing with Dad and he'll be begging to find a job elsewhere.  Also thanks to our comedic neighbor Chris, from Subway, who apparently has wanted to pick up a bike from us for some time.  Saturday was the day, and in his normal prankster fashion paid in....loose change.  YEP!  He has been saving his pennies...and nickles...and dimes...and quarters for some time in the cutest little pink make up box (I didn't ask!  What any consenting adult does in the privacy of their own life is their business...not that there's anything WRONG with that!) I started to help counting it but gave up quickly.  But he happily walked out with the aluminum BMX for our troubles! 
So onto the not so good.
Another chapter is opening up in our adventurous life.  When we first moved to the neighborhood back in '07 we rented the house we eventually turned into our business just up the road from here.  We lived there nearly three years.  After a little over a year (we found out later) our landlord stopped paying the mortgage.  Oh he still collected the rent, just didn't pay HIS bills.  We discovered this in November of '10.  It's an odd limbo to be in when, in fact NO ONE owns the home.  And in the traditional "cosmic joke" in the later half of December we had an electrical fire in the garage that fried the power, and lo and behold, no one to foot the bill for re-pairs.  Stranded we stayed in a weekly rental place (THAT was fun) for a couple of weeks until we found our current residence.  Prior to renting this home we informed the new landlord we were seeking permanency.  Had no desire to keep uprooting the kids or move away from the business, and was assured that we could feel secure in our new home as long as we wished   Well apparently that "as long as we wished" wasn't quite that long.  In November of last year he informed us he was selling the house BUT he was selling it as an investment property, with tenants so we had nothing to worry about.
right.
Found out last week that they apparently have a buyer....who wants to move their family in.  So we have roughly thirty days to vacate.
great.
So I hope you understand why I haven't been doing my daily bit here at the blog, but with Angie 8 months pregnant and due roughly right around the time we have to move, not to mention the daunting task of trying to find a home (need a house, an apartment just DOESN'T cut it) that's within reasonable distance to the kids schools and the shop, while at the same time trying to keep up with the work here...
But looking at the brighter side, perhaps we can find an even nicer home then the one we currently inhabit?
That's right...think positive!

Did you think i was kidding?
