Winds of March

The winds of March bring change.  I saw my first robins this week while walking along Spring Creek. My mother turns 86 today.  Happy Birthday, Mom!  We were supposed to go to Iowa for a visit, but she asked us not to come.  She is nursing a bad cold that has lingered for a week. Julia called the realtor this morning to start the process for listing our house for sale.  We are in the last stages of getting things ready, and there isn't much more that can be done.  I loved this place for many years, but the time and expense for upkeep on an older home with its acres of land isn't that attractive anymore.  Wisconsin winters have also worn us down. With global climate change, less snow and more ice isn't a good trade-off. We are nervous and excited about the changes ahead.

See you After the Election

My mother, who is 85, has never been on a cruise.  Dad wasn't really into that kind of vacation.  We've been on just one cruise, and it was okay.  We took the kids.  My favorite part was walking circles on the outer deck.  Fresh air and water for as far as you could see.  My least favorite part was the ports.  There just isn't enough time spent ashore to get a sense of place.

So when she asked us to go on a week cruise over election day, we said sure.  She didn't care where--just so long as it wasn't here.  We didn't sign up for the Internet package, so it'll be a good chance for us all to unplug for a week that promises to be otherwise stressful.  Hope things work out while we're gone.

Still at sea. Won’t be home until Tuesday. It’s been interesting. Not something we would do on our own, but my mom has loved every part of it. We’ve enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with her.
