Wow. What a time you had! 😢 That is a lot for one person to handle all at once. Having so much go on with your mom, losing your dad, and making a move is all just too much. And I can see how you love your critters. I'm so sorry you have had this experience. :hugs So, aren't you the one to say, that's how life goes? I actually agree. I have stories too. Some of us get more than our share of grief, I think. In the long run it gives us perspective on life. I'm certainly not afraid of letting it go when the time comes. 😏

Well it was especially sad because I also lost my favorite Aunt. Had to be the one to deal with her belongings, and she was a hoarder. So was Dad. I have no idea how many loads of stuff I cared to Goodwill. I know the previous move I threw out about 4 big dumpsters of junk out for my Aunt. I took care of my Aunt for 6 months. I couldn't deal with the dementia any longer. Then we lived with my Mom for a year. I was super depressed by then. Had to put her in a nursing home.
So glad we could retire to VA and live in the woods on a river. Just what I needed!

it is very peaceful in the woods of Virginia and especially on the river.
 
Good morning all! Made a fresh pot of coffee, and set out the banana bread. It is especially good if you put it in the toaster over there for a minute. So good warm with butter. 😋 We have cream cheese and marmalade if that's how you like it too. :D

Cap, I haven't told much of my story here, and probably never will, but suffice it to say, like you, we moved to the forest on a river. At first it was a forest on a river in Northern Virginia, and then to one in Washington. :lol: Just saying, there is no better place to be for peace and tranquility than in a forest on the river. With chickens. :highfive: I hope it has brought you as much joy as it has brought to us. Having grown up in the city in So California, I would never go back. It's hard to visit!!! :lol:
