this and that

Nothing new on the sale of the farm, yet.   Last Friday our realtor held a realtor's open house and had a good turn out, she says.    While strangers were crawling over my house, a dear friend kept Dave and I company at the lake.     Later we took a little trip to the Abbey of the Genesee so Barb could buy some of their delicious breads.   I forgot the camera.....but the Chapel was under renovation so there wasn't much to see.

When the house was ours again, the three of us enjoyed a take-out fish fry in front of a nice fire on the patio.    Barb brought lemon cheesecake with strawberries and blueberries.  

Most of the rest of the week we just did what we do, then started to get ready for a short Denver trip to visit with Jesse and Erin.    Next Friday, (our 44th wedding anniversary)  we'll all drive up to Casper, Wyoming to attend a memorial service for her dad.

so happy then, so happy still....

Today was a hard one for me, one of a few hard days I knew we'd have trying to get rid of things that represented wonderful times together.    As our son often tells me, they are just "things"....he's right but some of those things are harder to part with than others.    Even if they will have no use in our future plans, they signify the end of a memorable period.

These "things" will have a good new home.   I'm donating them to a local horse rescue organization.   Thanks for taking care of that for me Cindy P.
