We’re Here

The project took nearly a year, not including the earlier months of consideration and decision-making. We uprooted ourselves and moved to Iowa, arriving at our daughter’s home here on April 5 and moving into our new home a few days later when the movers caught up to us. The three-day drive was not as exhausting as I feared. Perhaps in comparison to eight months of sorting and packing it just didn’t seem so bad.

After another month plus of unpacking and arranging (it’s still not done), I’m beginning to find some time to relax. We’ve met the neighbors, volunteered for an HOA committee, and, last night, I attended my first Democratic Party Meeting in Iowa. We’ve arrived.

A surprise farewell from a Flagstaff friend. Due to age, and the reasons that brought us here, we won’t be as active in our new community. But that doesn’t mean we won’t love it as much. This is just another season of our lives.
