Surprise Party and a New House

I can't tell you how surprised I was when one of my dearest friends surprised me with an early 60th birthday party with most of my oldest, dearest friends. There wasn't anyone there I'd known less than 25 years. Each one took a turn and said some kind words to me. I'll treasure that memory forever and am so grateful to those who made the effort to come, even those who had moved away years ago. What a wonderful memory! I know I'm blessed richly with great friends in my life. This party also served as a farewell party, too, since we are moving early next month.

So, day after that big event, we went back to Yakima and bought a new house. We had been struggling with which house to buy. There were several we liked, but finally boiled it down to two and then after a couple of stress-filled sleepless nights, we settled on one and had a great peace about it.

Here's a picture of our new house...............

Your new house looks like a smaller version of your Woodinville house, and quite lovely. So sorry I missed your birthday party........would have loved to have been there. And what a change it will be living in a drier climate and on a golf course. I hope to get over for a visit one of these days. Let me know if you have a free hour one day before the big move and we'll meet one more time for a cup of coffee.
