We closed on our home the morning of, Friday, June 25th. It was bittersweet since we'd lived in that house the last 14 years and had worked hard to make it our own. Yes, I cried as I gave the new owner a hug and told her I hope they make many new memories of their time in their new home just as we had over the years. With tears in my eyes, I crawled in the truck and we drove away.
Since the last time I blogged was before closing on the house, you're probably wondering where we are. One can only imagine we've put many miles in between us and Phoenix and have seen quite a few things by now. Encontre!! We drove north out of Phoenix and spent the next 2 days camping with our friends - - got to get in that last camping trip with everyone, you know! - - drove back through Phoenix and ended up in the little town of Amado, AZ. What, pray tell, are we doing here?? My sweet mother-in-law lives just north of our location in Green Valley and since the only RV park in Green Valley cateers only to those 55+, we ended up here.
We spent yesterday afternoon with Brian's mom, his sister and brother-in-law going through old pictures and papers of Brian's grandmother, Midge, who had spent her early years in various all girl bands playing tenor sax. I knew she used to play with Ada Leonard but yesterday, we learned she had also played with Jean Harlow. It also appears Midge and her husband enjoyed the arts and had kept playbills from the late 1800's in her scrapbook! Those who know me, know I was in Hog Heaven going through all those old photos and papers!! We're heading back later this morning to visit, and to finish going through Midge's box.
We'll be heading out early tomorrow so stay for our next "adventure".
Luv to all... D
