Ell: Well surprise,surprise! He , being Rudy , accepted my offer. When I read the words it nearly knocked me off my three inch heels! I could hear my husband's words in my head-he would be a fool not to . Now I would have time to--to what? Didn't matter I could always find something that needed doing. I was relieved and happy. Shrink here I come!

When all the papers were signed and everything was legal. I took Rudy and showed him the books . We would talk about the clients another time. I wanted him to get a sense of how I ran the business first. It seemed to be a comfortable situation for us. Business was going to be fun again, maybe.
