BIG CHANGES/2013

2013 was a year of humungous change for us.  We spent most of waning 2012, remodeling, selling, giving away and organizing a lifetime accumulation of "stuff".  We sold our house on Harvest Rd. in June of 2013, spending the last few days reminiscing while camped in the driveway and enjoying a few last hot tubs. Leaving was bittersweet--so many memories but so much work we were leaving behind.

Speaking of work, Linda retired in mid-July and hasn't regretted a moment of it, though she is missing seeing her friends and learning of all the new developments with the various grants she worked on.

We moved out of Harvest June 20th and began a long, very tiresome, confusing move to Jason's new (and first!) place to Parker Dr.  Because the downstairs was being remodeled to accommodate us and our remaining belongings, we enjoyed the hospitality of our friends, Gail and Harley Lyons by camping at their farm until all was ready for us August 13th.

Family and friends began arriving August 15th for Erin and Todd's wedding.  Amazing even our own selves, we managed to get Jason's place put together enough so that we and Linda's brother and sister-in-law, Suzi, could sleep there.

On August 17th, 2013 our daughter, Erin, married Todd Ritter at the Flagstaff Ampitheater in Boulder, CO.  Everyone always says this, but it really was the most beautiful, heart-felt affair.  Being with really close family and friends, experiencing our daughter happy, safe and secure with a wonderful man and being with those we love--well, it just doesn't get any better than that.  Stay tuned for pictures.
