The house we found is small, close to the mall, with a postage stamp front yard. But walk to the back and it's heaven. The original owners were gardeners. For the first three or four years, new plants would come up that I had never seen before. As you pack up and leave, I'm hoping that the new place will be a haven with room for all the memories and a few flowers, too.Dorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421672075192660319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-86110764313009129832012-05-12T08:50:48.287-06:002012-05-12T08:50:48.287-06:00My favorite: "I don’t mind new.

And like several others have said, I love the line, "I don't mind new. I just mind leaving." Beautiful. I'd be glad to help pack a box or two after school is out!

I have a feeling that this book would be another great find, if I do locate it in our libraries. Will hunt for this one soon.<br /><br />Moving is always stressful, the physical aspect of it, not to mention the emotional one. It is always a journey of the soul, and one that I am sure you would adjust to with grace, with 'comfort' and with your usual equanimity. Sending you rays of love and light. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-2589759563915708792012-05-11T20:43:47.290-06:002012-05-11T20:43:47.290-06:00Linda,
