It's been a long time comin'

It's goin' to be a long time gone.

Appears to be a long time,

Yes, a long, long, log time

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young 1968



23 years ago this month we were in the throws of building our home in Douglas. Now, with 2 children raised and now off on there own, through trials and test of family and health, with the final New England winter behind use, we are at long last moving to warmer climates.

A dream which we really didn’t realize would happen even after we purchased our what we thought would be a vacation home; we tested the market and we sold our Douglas home for these many years. We’ve spent the better part of 8 months purging the non-essentials, relived a lot memories and discarded items of which we wondered – ‘why did I keep this?’

As we empty our home and say our farewells to friends and acquaintances, we know that the only thing that changes for us will be our address. Home is truly where your plant your dreams. Our last day in Douglas will be Tuesday April 7th. We anticipate that we’ll have frequent visitors in the land of sunshine and, thankfully, technology and frequent flyer miles will keep us in touch.

Grace will be living the high-life and due to some large work-related projects that I am wrapped up in (and he fact that I still need to work), I’ll be staying in Natick for a while taking some time with my parents.

We will be in touch.
