New beginnings and baggage

It never fails that just when you think that you have moved on and did it a long time ago something like a dream about an ex and his new wife and you all in a bed that makes you go what the heck was that about.  And then of course you see them later in person that day which never happens because you maybe see them once a year and it is usually in a car driving by.
The new beginnings is my sister running the Landing!  Love that she is doing that and I hope it works out that she will get to do it for a very long time.  It seems like God keeps giving her the opportunity to back out of it so it will be interesting to see what will happen in the end.  Will she find an investor?  Will she want to actually do it?  Can she keep up the pace?  Will this impact her choice of wanting kids?  Will she find a man?  Funny how it is that moving on with your life and not just sitting around waiting for a man to take care of you makes it harder or so it seems.  Please don't settle when you are young just because it might feel harder later on.  Wow that just got really complicated in my brain when I was going talk more about that so I will just stop now.  But just know that if you feel offended by what I said don't I feel there is more that I need to clarify there.  I just can't do it right now because I am Holidayed out and my brain has fried from lefsa.

Change

We always have change in our lives whether it is a small schedule change or a big change like the auction we just had of all our equipment.  It is a hard lesson to learn for kids and when audults are dealing with the big change at the same time it is hard to remember to think of the kids and help them to know that it is all going to be ok.  It isn't the end of the world.  We have had a lot of change lately.
-First Gert kept falling and not taking her meds.  We moved her to an adult foster care place.  Hillhaven is an amazing place for her to be.  There is always someone there and she is having all her meals made for her and housekeeping is all taken care of.  They make sure she takes her meds and if she falls there are emergency buttons all over the place.
-Lady died, very peacefully during the night.  We knew it was coming but still is sad.
-Auction of all the logging and dirt work equipment.

Big changes happened in just a couple of weeks.  After a little depression here hopefully we will start fresh and on a different road that will be more successful.  Success being measured by less stress, more family time and still be able to pay the bills.
