goodbye minnie

Here I am again.
Sorry for the absence. It was not intentional, by any means. Blogging just isn't high on the priority list. There's been alot going on...
*************************************************************
7 years
5 homes
1 bachelor degree
1 speeding ticket
4 parking tickets
3 boyfriends
Countless harsh winter days
3 cars (that's right, count 'em)
A dozen or so weddings
... and it's time to leave Minnesota. :-(

Sniffle, tear*
The time has come for me to again uproot and relocate. This time back to the motherland that flows with milk & cheese. While I'm ready for the change, the number of goodbyes seem to be endless. Much love and many tears have been exchanged- only to ease the loss for a moment with a hug. I bustle from dinner date, to pool party, to lunch, to coffee, to Farewell Party...all the while my little bottom dwelling home gets packed up in the wee hours of the night little-by-little. Spaces and shelves clearing off, things being trashed that haven't been touched or used in 2+ years.

There is a season for everything under the sun...
