Today marks one year since I handed over possession of the On The Grid building to its new owners.
A lot has changed over that time. One of the biggest blessings has been getting to spend more time with my girls. This summer, we enjoyed going out and doing fun things together. We even got season passes to Michigan’s Adventure and made the most of them!
It’s been special to spend time with my girls outside of the restaurant. Of course, they all miss coming in to help from time to time—or at least they miss the extra money they made while working. Rylea often tells me how much she misses it because she used to talk with customers every day. She feels like she’s gotten a little more shy since then, and I know those moments helped her grow.
I don’t miss the long days, but I do miss seeing all of you. I hope you’ve had a wonderful summer. We think of our restaurant family often, and the girls always get excited when they spot familiar faces around town. If you see us, please stop and say hello—we’d love to catch up!
