Where in the world?

...are the Cabrelli's? We are around. Barely. After leaving the Bahamas - and leaving Emily in the care of our fabulous neighbours, Michael and Cindi - we traveled to Atlanta. We arrived in the evening, celebrated the twin's birthday, packed up the business and went to bed. The next day we drove 14 hours straight to arrive in PA.

Sister Michelle is taking over operations for Emily Rose after the exit of our business partners. We are thrilled to have her on board as we know she will do a fabulous job. It was a little tough fitting the business in to her busy 3 child household - but after much arranging, shelf-purchasing and clearing out (mostly done by Michelle and Ryan before we arrived) Emily Rose has a new US home. The next few days were spent unpacking, organizing and preparing. We also celebrated our nephew Jack's 3rd birthday (picture coming as soon as we are a little more organized).

This morning it was off to the airport at 4:00am (eek) for Mark to fly back to the Bahamas, leaving Lisa here in PA with her sister for the next few weeks while we work Michelle in to the business groove. Mark arrived in Nassau at lunchtime, meeting his brother and sister-in-law (Pete and Di) after their few days relaxing in Turks and Caicos. A flat tire on our car slowed them down a little (at least he didn't need to climb in the window!), but he picked up Emily and two of the 3 Musketeers (plus guests) are back at Water's Edge. Lisa is wondering how many of her herbs are still alive.

We will be back to normal soon - but in the mean-time the blog will be bi-country!

Does this mean we'll get posts from Mark and Emmy? What's happening while the boss is away? We promise not to tell. I'd have ice cream for dinner every night and Cameron would have chocolate milk. He tells people he gets that all the time...and juice boxes.

Good to hear from you again!! I was a little worried that your silence meant things weren't going well! I'm glad to hear someone is filling the gap for you and that things are stabilizing. Hope you have a great visit with family, Lisa!!

Glad it all seems to be coming together well for you. Here's to a smooth transition and much success in the future.
