So for some reason Blogspot ate my entire, previous site. Being somewhat new to this, I haven't been able to determine the cause. But I have decided it's not such a bad thing. We've now been in Geraldine 8 months and are starting to blend into the community. Many, many things have changed in a very short period of time.
The biggest, most shocking change to me, as well as to those that have been following our saga, is that we no longer live in the little yellow house. (I still can't believe it.) But don't worry, we still own her and she is just as loved and enjoying the life we gave her.
A few months ago it became obvious that it was time to talk my grandparents into moving close by so we can help them continue to enjoy these later years of their lives. I want them to have a thoroughly beautiful life that is as healthy as possible, for as long as possible. After MUCH discussion I made them an offer they couldn't refuse. It was now possible for us to afford a bigger house for our growing family and we were able to give the little yellow house to my grandfolks. Lowering their monthly bills, getting them close enough we can help them with anything they need. My Pharmacy background really comes in handy! They also seem to love my cooking and now join us for many meals. I get great joy from watching them with their only great-grandchildren.
So now the fun part.... we had to move. But thankfully we were able to buy a beautiful home one block away from the little yellow house. Our new home has more room for everyone and it has many features I've always dreamed of. I literally always wanted a picket fence and a rose garden and now I have BOTH. The yard is gorgeous and perfect for the kids to play in. The attached garage is a dream too. I could go on but will save more details for another post.... Just know that Geraldine has been so good to us. Helping our small, family business grow and allowed us to bring our family together.
