As we closed the door for the last time today after the hustle and bustle of a busy summer weekend it dawned on me how fortunate I have been to have been a part of this community, this town, and surrounded by all of the amazing people that I have met over the past 4+ years. I truly feel a part of your lives and have heard your well wishes for what will be my family’s next chapter. On a lighter note as the last little bit of toilet paper ran out, the lights shut off, and the room grew quiet George Strait came across a random country playlist and the song played out “Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con dios, good luck, wish you well, take it slow, easy come girl, easy go.” And I knew my dad was right there with me. As I thanked him and all of you for believing in me I knew it was the last time that I would lock the door at the end of a beautiful sunny summer day as a business owner in Vergennes, VT.
