We are living in a cool house in Gladwin, temporarily. It's up for sale, we are doing some maintenence and cleanup while we're here. 80 acres of woods with a lake and a lovely stream. It's paradise. There are apple trees, hardwoods, evergreens and wildlife everywhere.
We both wish we could be settled into our own place, get on with life...make a garden, have a few chickens, a few cows and just live life.
Winter was long...the drive to work and back everyday for me, Jerry here in the house with Michigan's gray days. We survived! The snow was beautiful, the wildlife was/is beautiful. I'm thrilled to be close to my grandchildren and my children. I can stop and see them often.
My girl and her husband moved to Lansing almost a year ago and are currently building their first home. She is enjoying her job and her life.
My boy and his family are hoping to buy or build a new house in the near future. Their growing family needs a bit more room. They have 3 precious little ones...I think they're done :)
We are missing our Texas friends and family..hopefully we will see them soon. There are things we need to go back and get...things to bring home to Michigan that we left behind.
What we left behind
Where we are today
Things have not run smoothly for us since we moved. Ups, downs, ups, downs...currently on Ups :) I hope everything works out well for us...I'm scared and I'm pretty sure he's scared. I feel guilty for what I asked him to give up...the river view, family land and dear friends. At the same time I'm so very happy to be close to my grandbabies. I want to be an active, frequent part of their lives.
One thing is for sure...we are not missing the excess heat we left behind.
