Tonight I am sitting with gratitude and a thankful heart to the home we have been lucky enough to live in for the past 30 years.
This home welcomed us with our 4 children and a dog.
We loved, lived and grew old here. We have survived some tough patches – but the majority of my memories here are good ones.
During the tough patches it was a refuge sitting along the river with wide open fields and plenty of nature to soothe my soul.
This place holds many memories for our children and grandchildren. Campfires, camping, fishing, and skiing, snowshoeing and kayaking. Endless wonderful things to do, right out the front door.
How lucky were we to raise our children here.
Our youngest was one when we moved here – and now he is returning here with his wife – becoming the third generation to call this home.
And we are moving back to where we began as newly weds. Back to the land our children have memories of as well.
The place on the river has steps and we couldn’t live on one level – so we felt it was best to be in a place that would welcome our old age. A place where we could live on one level and have less upkeep and less work all around.
So we will be able to visit here and have new memories here – so it isn’t good-bye – but see you later.

My heart will always hold this place dear. Love has lived here, and love is moving here and love will go with us to our new home.

Home is where the heart lives.
