Thank you, everyone, for kind and supportive words.
Things have pretty much settled back to normal. I think Mark has worked through most of his anger.
Our lawyer said we probably could sue them but it wouldn't benefit us much. I had to ask Mark what it was he hoped to gain and he admitted he just wanted to hurt them. We decided together it would be best to let karma take care of it.

He's off doing live sound today for one of the bands signed to our label. That always makes him happy.

We got up early this morning for our breakfast date. The Farmer's Market was busy even with the threat of rain. I bought cucumbers, I have a few on my vines but needed extra to make a cucumber dill sauce for the fish we are grilling tomorrow. And, I bought fresh corn on the cob - yummy!
I dug a few potatoes out the mud in my garden to go with it.

We are going to start our own line of cases. In the time we were discussing buying the other business we talked with one of our largest vendors and they were very interested in us supplying cases for them. So, we are just going to set up a small operation, to begin with, and do a few until Mark and Seth get the hang of it. If it does well, we might expand, but we will just wait and see what happens. We won't have to invest much money to get that started and won't have to borrow any.

It's like I told Levi - things have a way of working themselves out, maybe not for the best and maybe not like we wanted or expected but they will work out one way or the other.

But,it will be a while before we can actually forgive and forget.
