Every home must have a peanut butter jar and coffee can full of stray bolts and screws, right?

In the 22 years the in-laws lived in this beautiful home, I’m not sure they ever put a car in the garage. It is … full of memories.

The in-laws made it on their flight today, the first of three hops to get them to Arizona and their new place. We will now spend some time getting the house ready for listing, cleaning up and clearing it out. It feels different already.

A late night fall, a morning ambulance ride. All ended well, but there were no westboudn flights for the in-laws today.

My in-laws fly out tomorrow, so we did one last walk through their neighborhood. They’ve lived here for a little over 20 years and the circle is full of good friends and memories, it’s really hard on them. The changes have necessitated the move, each of them needs different types of assistance now.

The Mrs. helps her step-mom get ready for her trip out west while her dad and I ran down to his favorite Chinese take-out shop to say goodbye to Nina … and pick up dinner.

Heading north to help the in-laws head west. Walked into a gas station and they had brochures out for one of my favorite tourist traps.
