Closing Time

We hosted an 8th Ward Elders Quorum social at The Little Brick House tonight.  It was a good get together.  The fall social is a soup fest of sorts and we had a pretty good turn out.  Fun times were had by all, well, I hope so anyway.  Everyone seemed to be having a good time.  I was glad we could host it at the LBH. 

After the party as I was doing the last little bit of cleaning up I started to think about this old building.  As I mopped the floor I thought about refinishing the hardwood and then all of the other work we have done.  I think back to those very first days in March of 2011 when I was tearing out the old hood.  I knew right then we had a big project ahead of us.  We certainly did and it has been quite the journey.  I was a bit sad as I thought about the move and leaving behind this place that has been our home for the last year and a half.  The old building is tired and some days it is a wonder that she is even standing.  I am grateful for being there.  Grateful for the experiences and the things I have learned.  Grateful for the friendships we have made and the wonderful people we have come to know. 

Well, tomorrow will be our last day at 50 West 400 South.  Closing time is upon us.  I don't know if anything else will go into this old building.  There is so much work that needs to happen there beyond what we have done.  And so we say goodbye.  We are looking forward to our new building, to a bigger kitchen, to cooling in the kitchen, to better exposure, to new friendships and new experiences.
