Everything here just shines with love and care and industry, family the way it should be, and how could you not fall in love again and again with such a man! These decisions are not easy ones by any means but you have the most present and loving and knowledgeable of guides in that beautiful man you married. The legacy you are continuing to create for your grandchildren is inestimable. I can only imagine that seeing you all gathered around like that, discussing family business, laughing together, will be indelible for them. You’re all teaching them how to be, how to love, how to care. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-43973616317313106622019-11-04T11:44:02.052-05:002019-11-04T11:44:02.052-05:00I'm so happy for you both.

My parents certainly never did any such thing, not with all of us together. (Of course, my parents weren't together either, so that complicated things!) I can see both the appeal of keeping Dog Island and the immense relief that would probably go with selling it. We had a similar property in West Virginia, very rustic and secluded, and we sold it and never looked back. Of course, I had no kids and I knew I was unlikely to get myself back there, so for me the decision was easy.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-82720040839896474102019-11-04T09:23:42.587-05:002019-11-04T09:23:42.587-05:00so, are you keeping the house on Dog Island? and d...so, are you keeping the house on Dog Island? and didn't Mr. Moon want to build a house on that property in Apalachicola? and as to that will the land still be there when the oceans rise? <br /><br />you definitely picked a good one.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-91935193059829648812019-11-03T23:20:38.667-05:002019-11-03T23:20:38.667-05:00You and Mr. Moon were fortunate to find each other...You and Mr. Moon were fortunate to find each other and I'm glad your family can talk easily together.

We're planning a permanent move to Florida within a year, and I've asked her what she wants from our home in Illinois. She doesn't want to think about it. So I bought a book, 'Things to Know About Me,' and will list our assets, will info, etc., and keep it for both of them. I'm glad your kids could gather together and do it.Catrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408495829569772826noreply@blogger.com
