We all made it home in one piece. There were no arrests, as some of you I am sure were expecting. I hate to disappoint but we really got into no trouble at all. Not I am not saying Tom would have approved of every thing we did but as I have said before what he doesn’t know won’t hurt me!
I went swimming with my swimsuit on! I drank as much as I liked with a designated driver when necessary. I cussed when I felt like it. I ate junk food by the ton – twice we went for ice cream after midnight. But honestly that was as wild as we got.
I had a wonderful time but getting back to Tom was the best part. He and Steve supervised the moving of much of the furniture we decided to bring from the other house. And Tom has a wonderful compromise for the other house. He has arranged to lease it on a long term basis to the company he used to work for. They often bring people in for several weeks at the time and they will be using the house rather than a hotel. They have also agreed to hire a couple who used to help us with the cleaning and some maintenance. They will be living in the ‘mother-in-law’ suite in the basement. They are wonderful people and I am thrilled that they will be caring for our house.
We are busy with a few more moving details but I feel we will be settled soon. We are leasing the house with the furniture we will not need here but there are still items I am unsure what I want to do with. But it is time to make those final decisions. I want to get them done so I can relax and enjoy the rest of the summer.
