Happy Fourth.
Happy Fifth.
The kids and I traveled to Florida to spend the week with my parents. My sisters, niece and nephew and dog traveled, too.

Big plans to have one last "hoorah!" in my parents home.
The home they built.
The home that became a bit too big.
The home that came a bit too much to take care of.
There were things to organize.
Things to throw away.
Things to pack.
"Treasures" saved.
"Treasures" then thrown away.
"Treasures" pulled out of the garbage and photographed by Libby. (A cake topper that was used on all of our birthday cakes over the years. )
My sisters and I had more breakdowns than we care to admit. And only by the strength of my mother did we get through them. (Like so many other times in our lives.) My mothers attitude amazes and inspires us all of the time.
She explained that they are ready for a new adventure.
A new spark in their lives.
We totally dig that.
Happy July!
