So, we’re in route to Ithaca with the knowledge that we close on our new house at 3:00 Monday and have to be ready for movers at 9:00 am on Tuesday. Not much is packed so it will be a busy couple of days. Thanks for all your comments and prayers, and for sharing our trip with us. We hope to make more and more trips to see all the friends and family we love and miss across the country. We will be in Ithaca the rest of the summer and love visitors if anyone wants to come and check out our new digs! We’ve got plenty of room now that we can put up Poppy in the backyard!
