This morning I'm fighting off feelings of buyer's remorse.  The sun is rising and it's so beautiful on my lake.  Moving is almost completed, we should have it in the next day or two.  I suppose change will always be a little uncomfortable.  I try to remind myself that this is the beginning of a new chapter in my life... A bold adventure... yeah yeah yeah.  I feel like I'm leaving home for who knows what.  Don't misunderstand.  I still want to do this, but there is a sense of letting go that I'm struggling with.  I didn't expect to feel this way.  Maybe it's that almost everything I own is in boxes.  I keep wondering as I pack them if I will be the one to unpack them.  Or will it be some poor soul wading thru our stuff to settle our estate.  Not that I'm feeling morbid, but plans often have turns we don't anticipate.  Heck, we may become world travellers and not want to come back.  Sorry folks, emotions can be messy things and I am knee deep in them this morning.

I have enjoyed my life here at the lake these last fifteen years.  I know I will miss my home, my neighbors, my morning panoramic view of the lake over a cup of coffee.  But then I may find something better; how could that be?  I'm sure I'd feel differently if it were February and we were having freezing rain, or after two months of continual drizzling rain without a look at the sun.

Okay, I'm all better now.  Thanks for tolerating my emotional outburst.  Of course if you didn't tolerate it, you are not reading this...  Never mind.

Yesterday was very warm weather.  Didn't stop to see how hot, but it was toasty.  Vergil mowed the lower lawn and trimmed the knee high grass.  He also helped with packing and moving boxes.  Where would we be without help?

Tony & Meagan arrived yesterday eave from Walla Walla with kids and dog in tow.  Teddy is a cute little dog.  He doesn't seem to make much noise.  Pretty well behaved.  We took some fish food down to the lake an fed the fish.  They weren't jumping for joy, but Tess (neighbor's dog) seemed to like it.  She was eating it even as she was swimming.  Even after Kam told her not to, she was scarfing it up out of the lake.  Tony plans to help us with the move today.  We should have lots of activity going on today.  Drop by if you want to watch the show.

We watched 'Despicable Me' with the grandkids last night.  I fell asleep somewhere early on.

My friend Rich called to tell me he was donating a day of work to help us with the move.  Very kind of him!  Especially since he just recently cut the end off of his thumb with a table saw.  I certainly didn't expect him to do this.  It's touching to be on the receiving end of these little acts of kindness.  I'm gonna have him clean and repair the gutters and downspouts.  Also, since he's a painter, I'll have him paint the remaining section of wall in the living room.  He's also bringing a trailer so we can dump the overflow from moving.  Garbage cans are filled to overflowing.

I am amused to see some of the stuff that I've held onto all these years.
