The end of summer for us has meant ramping up our efforts out at Northland College in a Ashland. The machines there are doing well. So well we are looking at twice a month trips. As usual, I try to accompany Peter with the kids whenever we can. We value the time together as a family so much it's worth the effort. Clara and Logan really enjoy playing at the park in Ashland while we wait for Peter to finish up, and we've been blessed with nice days. Here are a few photos from our last two trips.
Some other notables are about a week ago two of our soda machines were broken in to with a crow bar. Luckily, not much cash was stolen from our family, but breaking in to machines like that ruins them. Several other machines in Duluth were also broken in to. Thus, Dr. Pepper decided not to replace them outside. One location remains without a machine, the other we were able to replace inside. We try to be as open handed with our money as possible, since God has never failed to provide for our family. But it's still an unsettling experience. There aren't many jobs out there where someone can grab a crow bar and steal your paycheck from you.
In happier times, Peter was able to obtain a free Red Bull machine off Craig's List. We are not sure what we are going to do with it yet, but either way it will be a blessing.
Next week, Peter and I meet with our advisor at the Entrepreneur Fund. We are looking forward to our next steps!
