THE Move September 2001
Fort Wayne, IN to Glendale, AZ
"We really did it!"
| Actually
the trauma and agonies of the move are well behind us, but needed
to add this page to capture the spirit. We didn't get pictures
of the weeks of packing, the agony of what to take from our 3300
sq. ft. Fort Wayne house to our 1300 sq.ft. Glendale house and
the execution. Suffice it to say it was like a war in that the
plans went out the window when the van pulled up and we did a
lot of "playing it by ear". Ended up with more than
a car full for the three day trip and that trip got started some
5 hours later than expected. |

A
lot of folks have asked how we could give up our mansion in the
Fort on its 4 rolling acres and Cedar Creek as the back property
line. The answer is that it came to look like the picture on the
left even in the summer. Yea, there is suppose to be a front walk
there somewhere but someone hasn't dug it out yet, and now that
someone will never have to again. |
| Yep,
this is the new mansion in Glendale. Those are rocks in front
which don't grow much and cactus that grow some, but crave no
watering that we noticed. Sound tough to take care of? Fact is
we do have grass in the walled backyard on automatic watering
for the grandkids to play on. |

Just
so you know I am not kidding, here is a quick game of "Kick
the Ball" between Allie and Kaity, with Nick and Adam exploring
by the fence. That's our lemon tree to the left with the orange
and grapefruit even further. Love the walled privacy of the yards
in this part of the country. |
| Ended
up being the right move at absolutely the right time in our lives.
We VERY much miss the folks we left behind, but couldn't face
another winter. |
