Moving

Packing, cleaning and loading, then unloading and putting things away, sounds so simple. Yet it is also full of emotion. After 11 years in our home, we have sold it and are moving to a new area. Leaving our friends behind is probably the most difficult thing to do. Friends we have dinner with, go on road trips with, share our lives with, gone, or at least in a different state. The rest of it, loading and unloading, etc, is easy when you think about finding new friends. The annual road trip my friend and I make to the Lancaster quilt show, no more, unless I fly out to see her next year. Dinners on holidays and special occasions, it is just so rot with emotions. Too bad we can't just pack our friends up and bring them with us, one living on one side of us and one on the other. That would be great, for us, but not so much for them. I guess you never really loose freinds, they are always with you, but walking over and borrowing a spool of thread or a power tool is much more difficult. I guess we have to start in a positive mood and find new freinds. It is all about moving forward. We will miss you Bill, Shirley, Toni and Bill. Thanks for all the wonderful memories.
