Okay, for the last several days we have been moving stuff from my mother-in-laws place to either her storage unit or our house. We are big on deadlines so we had set November 30 as the date to get all her stuff out of Heartlands so that we could terminate the lease before a new month started. We got the last of her stuff out at about 9:30 that night! Today is the day that we set aside to move the biggest stuff out of here and the storage unit to a place that will take the wheelchair (its shocking how few places will take a working wheelchair), to Christian Services, or to the landfill. Of course, that means some side trips down various memory lanes. Joanne called me in and showed me a scrapbook that all the girls Jean used to work with at the B&O had put together for her and then we went through their wedding album. It was great having Joanne show me all these people I had mostly only heard of before. But, of course, it quickly dawns on you how fast it all goes! Those pictures were from 63 years ago. Joanne noticed that Jean had dutifully written the names of the priests down, and the names of the wedding party, and she mentioned that we had never done that so we pulled our own album out to remind us to tend to that. And then we realized our own pictures are over 28 years old. Weve done plenty of things together but it hit us that time is not available in infinite quantities! Hmmm. Another trip to Europe? Out west? More skiing with my son? Memories in the making, if we take the time....
