Welp. I told a fib.

Y'all. 

Ok.  I guess I told a fib without meaning to.  I really, really, really do want to bring you details of our trip. 

Really. 

But instead of being SOON like I told you it would be, it may be late.  A lot late. 

Because this week is absolutely crazy.  Like several things scheduled everyday kind of crazy.  Organization things, doctor appointment things, last-time-to-do-before-we-move-things, saying good-bye kind of things. 

I mean, is there ever an easy way to close out a season of your life?  Saying good-bye to home?

Packers come on Monday - a week from tomorrow.  MONDAY!!! Holy Moly.  And this place is not!ready!not!even!close!

So I have to make getting it ready my priority for the next few weeks.  Trip details will have to wait.  Please hang in there with me as we move forward, move on, say good-bye to here, say hello to there.

I do, though, want to share my very favorite picture from our trip with you.  I can't wait to enlarge this print and put it in our new house on the beach.  I took it on my grandparent's farm, my very favorite place in the world.  And to me, it symbolizes new life through the winter, brave and beautiful hope, spring.

Take care, y'all, and I'll touch base again soon! :)
that's the rusty-red sheep barn you can see in the distance...

    Shan, GREAT PICTURE. That bloom is from a thornless flowering quince, Chaenomeles Superba ‘Cameo'. It's the Cinderella of Spring. A former student of your Granddad's gave me this shrub many years ago (maybe 10) to deliver to Dad in appreciation of him as a professor (she's now in horticulture). I planted it and think of Dad every time I see it. Now I'll think of you and this picture too.
