A New Year, A New Life

It seemed like an insurmountable task, but we have pretty well wrapped up the chores of my parent's affairs, including the sale of their home. We have spent most of the Christmas Season taking care of things, and so on Tuesday, December 29th, we are moving to Coeur D' Alene for the rest of the winter, and then in the Spring, we will decide if we are going back to Seattle, or Oregon. I have lived for extended periods of time in both place, and love both of them. But for the next few months, it is back to CDA where we met three years ago.

So, we close this chapter of our lives, say good by to the Valley, and close the books on my parent's lives here. It is sad and exciting at the same time. On December 7th, both of my parent's cremains were laid to rest in their hometown of Joplin, Missouri. TIme now to move on, although I will never forget, and will always treasure the memories the rest of my life. I am surprised how sad I feel leaving the Valley again, although years ago I swore that I would never live here again. But, the people here are so real, so nice.

We have things in storage here, so we will no doubt be back, but how often, who knows.

So long Silver Valley, at least for now, and although I shed some tears, I also smile and laugh.
So, GF, watch out  for we are invading your city. Hope to see you there.

I will conitune to blog wherever we go, for I am the Cedar Street Kid, and Wallace and Cedar Street are my roots. I uderstand that now.
