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.

  3. The throw-back pic is the cutest. I mean you're a cute couple now, but you were darn cute back then too. And the huge smiles haven't changed.

  4. Love the wedding photos - congrats on 44 years. Last year was our big sale(s) and I admit to a couple of emotional break downs. I know it's only stuff, but it's stuff with wonderful memories. Good luck with all. It can be overwhelming :-)

  5. Some stuff is harder to let go of than other stuff. It's good to have a good home for it. Onward!

  7. Cheers on your 44th! Good looking and lovely couple then and now. Steve said Dave looked like a Kennedy!
    I can relate of letting go of stuff, just close your eyes and imagine they are just there somewhere in your heart.
    Have a safe trip Sue and David.

  8. You probably don't have the dress anymore, but photos of it and the wedding are wonderful memories. Just like the photos of the riding gear...... Of course I didn't get rid of my pink tack until last year, and I haven't ridden in 20 years :-))) We're already talking about our last Christmas in the S&B with all the kids.....tree, ornaments, all that stuff - yes, some days are harder than others. And yet, we can't wait for that SOLD sign!!

  9. I knew that the horse gear would be tough....aaah, the pangs of the heart. Sometimes they do not cease.

    Love you both. And I adored your wedding photos. So very sweet.
