We shift from focus to focus. Right now it is our party and some sorting for garage sale-lables. But I know that once our party is over we will go through every closet, nook and cranny to see what we are ditching and what we are packing. Then there are all sorts of loose ends that we are constantly tying up, not to mention daily life with the kids.
To add to the spice in our life just now, Ivan got some kind of 24 hour stomach bug this week and Big Buddy is still in the hospital, so we try to go see him as we are able. We always figured that our move would coincide with his funeral, but I am glad that he is still well and his animated self. However, he has finally, through this dramatic fall come to the realization that he can no longer live on his own. They are looking at moving him from the hospital to a VA nursing home and his care worker is going to manage the sale of all his stuff. That is such a relief, because going through his stuff would be horrendous and it's great that there is someone able and willing to do it.
Then to top it off, we are prioritizing time with friends right now and laying the rest aside as much as possible knowing that these are our last weeks to be with people who have been put in our lives.
Several have promised to come see us in Canada though, so it is not all farewells forever. In the meanwhile, here's to Bluebonnets, scorcher summers and the Alamo- not sure why we are not supposed to forget it, but I do know I will never forget Texas and our time here. It's become a part of me.

The bluebonnets are wonderful.
What a time of change for you all. Pulling up the roots of a whole family must be very stressful, tiring and emotional. God bless you all as you start on your new adventures.
