We've
come full circle. I'm happy to be starting a new year in a newer home
located where we began as newlyweds over 50 years ago.
2025
was a crazy, hectic, and busy year. Buying our home last January was
the easy part. Packing, moving, and getting the old one shined up and sold
took time, much effort, and considerable stress. We had long days
full of hard work. We sold, gave away, or tossed out of a lot of
excess stuff. We learned new skills together, took our time, and did
most of the work ourselves. Not bad for 70+ year old seniors, and
it's been very satisfying to accomplish.
We met some delightful people along the way. Unfortunately, dealing with delays, stupid rules, and incompetent idiots taught us a few lessons. Our patience was tested a couple of times, failed once or twice. And our stress relieving hobbies were packed up for over nine months...no quilting, no electronics...never thought we could survive that!
Still, we enjoyed most of the process of planning, moving, and settling in at our new location. Goodbye Sumner County -- Hello Cookeville!
We're here now, right back where we belong, already relaxing and enjoying life. And that's all that matters.
