Thoughts on my life and the things that make me happy.

Memorial Day

It is Memorial Day and I am wondering where this year has gone.  It will be June 1st on Wednesday and I don't know what happened to the first 5 months of the year.  I haven't accomplished several of the things I had planned.  - Organize the house- lose weight- pay off debt, etc.   BUT I have the rest of the year and it is all still within reach. 
I wrapped up the last week of travel in Burbank.  6 weeks total plus the one week previously in Florida.  That is a lot of travel.  The bad news is that it's not over with yet.  2 things happened last week which will change everything.
1- Dad had a heart attack.  He had triple by-pass surgery on Friday and is doing great.  I'm going to fly home to Virginia on Wednesday and stay for a week to help Mom.
2- I got the job in Seattle!  I start in 2 weeks.  That means packing the house, finding a place to live and moving. I probably won't do the actual move until July but I have to get started on planning.  I spent the weekend making list and getting started.  There is a lot to do.
I am excited about starting a new chapter.  A little scared but excited.  I can use this blog to share photo's and adventures in the new city.  But first I have to get there.
Stay tuned.

Snap shot Saturday

I know I owe a lot of updates but I've just completed week 6 of travel with one more to go.  It is hard to stay up on the blogs and do a job which requires hotel stay constantly.  I promise to get better.
In the meantime, here are some photo's from our Mothers Day Garden tour.
