Today was a busy day of packing....daughter Janine took on the library shelves with the assistance of her Mother...who sat and directed. Linda made the right decision to pare down her collection of books dramatically. Having all the books boxed up at this point puts us a day ahead of schedule. Thank you Janine....you are special.....
The proposed renter at the spec home at Brasada Ranch has failed to follow through with his agreements and all so Linda has withdrawn the offer to rent...she sees problems with him as a renter as indicated by his actions to this point......so what does that mean....cancellation of the moving truck to Portland and back to plan A of "staging"our furniture at the Brasada house and storing our boxes there also.....So this Thursday and Friday will be the actual move with sons Jim and Jeff providing the "manpower". Jeff will come Tuesday to finish the packing and getting things organized for the move.
Saturday will be the grand cleaning day with daughter Wendy and son in law Chris and daughter Janine and boyfriend Tyson arriving to do the cleaning. Saturday night we should all be done and heading to Portland. Sunday we plan on enjoying the Super Bowl together and celebrating Wendy's birthday.
Today was a small bit sad as we looked though albums of how we were once younger......better looking....more energy....not concerned about illnesses.....wild and out of control about each other....etc...etc....ps....we got over it quickly.......

Yep, we all look at those pictures from our "youth" and wonder where it went. Just the other day I showed John a picture of me taken at Miami Beach during my spring break.....in the SIXTIES. Yes, they DID have cameras back then.
You two are really getting things done. Soon you will be enjoying the Florida sun.

OMG how adorable you both are! I love it... I am going to print these out for Miss Jillian
Love you both...

PS Miss Linda, I have something for you and hope to get it to you soon. I am afraid to mail it as I do not want it to break... I will figure a way to get it to you soon:)
I just showed Ernie the pix, without the blog...he had no clue who those people in the pix are. You were both very handsome back then!
Kim & Ernie
Nice high school pics...reminds me of when I had a pony tail. Hope we can get together when you're in Portland. Don't you just love moving?

David,Ken thought you looked very distinquished. Linda,you have a natural smile. I could had used that this past weekend. We had our 50th anniversary picture taken. Three things I hate doing- going to the dentist, having my eyes checked and having my picture taken.
Glad you have the books done. Linda, a young man
8th grader at our school is also reading James Patterson books. Really likes his books.
Well, we had snow here todayjust enough to make the driving a little dangerous.
Can't wait for you guys to get to Florida and lay in the sun.
Love,
Janet
Just got back from the 24 Hour race... it was great to see Ryan Dalziel win! :) Sounds like your packing has been going really well.
Linda - hope you're over the "punies" and are ready for your trip to Florida!! Have a safe trip down.
Jim and Swee
Wish we all still looked so good, however, you both look way way better now in so many ways. I think the memories we have of how hot we were may even be a bit over-exagerated in our own minds. I don't think I was as cool as I remember but that is a good thing. You are both absolutely fabulous today, better for sure than yesterday! Glad to hear your move is going so well. I only wish we were going to Florida with you. Love you both, Judy
Hi! We’ve just gotten caught up on the blog; it’s been awhile since we’ve visited. We were sorry to hear about Linda’s latest surgeries, and we hope and pray that she heals up quickly and gets over the “punies” soon. We’re glad to know that the Alimta is working!
Those portraits are wonderful! Were they taken just after your wedding? You still look great, though, which is amazing considering all that you’ve been through.
Take care & good luck with the packing!
Love,
Susan & Rick
OMG, I didn't even recognize Dave in the photos!! Thanks so much for sharing those. How cool to get to see what you looked like back in the 80's. What a handsome couple! You still are.
Glad everything's moving along with the sale of your house. I'm also glad Linda is starting to adjust and get accustomed to the colostomy. It can't be easy. But, you're both so strong and so smart that you can handle pretty well anything that comes your way. That's what makes you such an inspiration.
Best of luck for the rest of the move. My love to you both, as always.
