Two Steps Forward ...

One step back.
That pretty much describes the last three months of construction and permissions as we prepare to open Bubbles.

While explaining this concept to the kids using the tile floor, it became apparent that even though destination progress is slowed by this type of "forward-backward" movement ... three steps are still taken.
So, at the end of walking a mile in this way (two steps forward, one step backward) you've technically walked three miles ... and if you are on track, you weren't headed for a real destination anyway, just the exercise!
Translation = by the time this first store is said and done ... we'll have the "exercise" (or experience) of three stores ... even if we only have the income from one. And we'll be that much more "fit" to keep going.
