The beginning of the end of Part II...

 

 

After 29 years, it is time to close Part II of my parents' lives.  After 4 long years of looking, they and my sister have finally found and bought a house to meet all of their exacting specifications, and they are ready to begin Part III.  Soon, we will have to take a last look at this magical back yard full of wonderful sights and say "Goodbye".  It is both an exciting and sad time, as the many fond memories of this home make it hard to leave, but the exciting promise of a new home to meet their changing needs is reason for celebration.  The new house is bought, and the old house just has to be sold... fingers crossed for expeditiousness there!
