Its Time Has Come....

On Wednesday 11/10/2010 I bid a fond farewell to my friends Bill and Orienne.  They're on their way to Portland tomorrow for the next phase of their adventure together.

In light of all the changes - I got to wondering how it must feel to face the future in terms of years - versus decades.

As we sat together on the couch - Orienne casually mentioned that maybe some assisted living services at their new home would be helpful.

Her daughter's eyes teared up.

Like me - she understood what a monumental step it was for her forever-strong and independent mother to admit to that reality.

A wise decision... Its time has come.

So time marches forward and my journey continues as well.

 

On 11/11/2009  I left Minnesota for my Westward Ho! adventure.

In the spirit of new adventures.... on 11/11/2010 I once again packed up the trusty Camry.

I spent a delightful couple of days with assorted sisters in Mission Viejo.  Then it was on to Las Vegas to spend time with my mom - as she looks forward to her 83rd birthday this week.

The next stop on my journey will be to the mountains to spend some 'real' time with MRW.

An important decision...

...its time has come.
