Exciting times

Work on the new condo is almost done. This may sound a little weird, but Lorrie and Kathie are going to coordinate everything while I am up skiing with Craig and the boys at Winter Park, CO.

So I will be meeting them next Sunday and stay up there until the following Sunday. Meanwhile, the packers are coming on Wednesday the 23rd and the movers on the 24th. We are not going to move everything, obviously, so I have been scurrying around marking stuff to move. So when I get back, I will be mostly living in the new place. I will need to get phone, cable etc when I get back, but mostly should be good to go.

I have mixed emotions leaving this house that Sally and I built. Yesterday, I was sitting outside (we finally had a warm day after freezing for a few) and tearing up. But I think it is the right thing to do to move on with my life. And this house and yard is too much for me.

One interesting thing, the swans were gone for a while again and

when they returned, there were three of them! They really are gorgeous.

Here is a picture. Maybe I can kidnap (swannap) one of them to the lake in front of the condo.
