Well today the weather was perfect over here on the cool side of the state. It was a beautiful Sunday. The dessert social we hosted at our house was a wonderful time. So many good people. The kids and grown men were playing football in the back yard and people just brought desserts and visited. We had tables of people outside, tables inside, and people just standing around and visiting wherever.
The older single ladies (whom I love dearly) hung out in the dining room and took advantage of the A/C and proximity to the dessert island. They are so stinking cute. I honestly love them to death... especially this group.... "my girls". Janelle has a cane and knows how to use it if a kid runs by too fast. She plays the organ at a lively pace each Sunday and if she misses a note... she just holds it longer. She is so funny. Wilma is 90 and proud of it. She wore purple and she honestly acts like she's in her 70's. Mrs. Searle is the glam girl of the bunch. Her hair is always swept up in a professional doo and her clothes and makeup make you think she had to be like a model or something. She's so skinny too. "Lori the Dog" is a kick in the pants. She does the newsletter and she sometimes gives us the weekly news in dog talk. It's hysterical. Makes my day. Velma came too. I love her. She is such an inspiration. She used to give my players talks. She was quite the athlete back in the day. At 80-something she still goes swimming at that Y once a week. Her knees are getting worse though. All those years of sliding into bases. If you've seen that movie League of Their Own about the female baseball players..... she was actually one of those. And she was good. Coached too.
Nan and Kylee came too. It was so good to see them again and to hear about their new challenges and goals. And to pick on Kylee a little. :D Love you Ky! There were probably over 60 people here tonight. I am overwhelmed with my love for these good people and friends who have been such a big part of our life these past 5 years. I can't believe we're down to our last week here now. Kind of sad. Okay... very sad. We have decided we may keep our home here and just sell our rental here. That way we can use it as our vacation/second home. We are honestly thinking that. We are going to keep it on the market till October and if it doesn't sell... we're just taking it off and keep it. That makes the thought of leaving a lot easier. We know we will grow to love the people where we are moving to as well. Just tonight... we are reflective on our life here.
Tomorrow..... we HAVE to start packing and making this final. :[
We have been very blessed by the people here. We will miss them.
