May Day
Today started out with a trip to Valley City to watch Blaine participate in Special Olympics District games. I made it in time to watch him swim his events - for which he was awarded three blue ribbons for his efforts.
He's a very strong swimmer and loves to swim. What I was impressed with is the way he supports and cheers on the other athletes. He's right there with a pat on the back and a "high five". He's an all around great guy and I'm so proud of him.
I returned to Jamestown and took my bike out for a 10 mile bike ride. Not a very long ride but it was exactly what I needed. I could have gone all day ...but we're still in the moving process. I reluctantly headed out to the farm and loaded up more boxes to go in to the Goodwill store tomorrow during my lunch hour. It's a good thing to live in abundance....except when moving.
What's left in the house (farm) is either going to be donated or burned. I was hoping that it wouldn't take all summer....but it's looking like it may very well turn out to be. The main living area is pretty much done, but the attic and basement aren't. I expect that we'll be making the transition to town within the next couple of weeks.
I'm finally accepting of this move in to Ella's house and ready for whatever the "next chapter" has to bring. I know it'll be a transition and take an adjustment period. But I know that if I need some space, all I have to do is get in the 4Runner and drive out in to the country to the peace and quiet.
