I barely moved as Ken got up, kissed me goodbye and left for the airport. I slept until 7:30. When I got up Jason and Amy were up packing to head back to Las Vegas. Ugh! One minute we are all together, the next minute I am saying goodbye as everyone heads in different directions. I get that blue feeling. Time to remind myself how blessed I am. I send Jason and Amy off with some Lemon pound cake, hugs and say goodbye. Justen gets up and we have coffee together before he takes a shower and heads to work. Hugs to him too! What a great Birthday! Now I am alone in my own house. I can't remember the last time this has happened. I did some laundry and cleaning so Justen won't have to ... read more

We spent the weekend packing up the apartment. Our last night there will be Wednesday night. I will still be working at Children's in Atlanta, but begin working remotely 50% of the time next week. We will be staying in our RV in Stone Mountain Park (outside of Atlanta) just for a few nights, and then heading to North Carolina. I have really enjoyed my year here. The apartment wasn't perfect but we made it home. It was very convenient; I liked the experience of living 'downtown', walking to Piedmont Park, restaurants, museums. Ken didn't enjoy it as much as me. He felt caged up. Atlanta is a great city. It has a lot going on (the traffic is bad!). My favorite thing about Atlanta is the people-so friendly and kind. The least favorite thing is ... read more

We have been here for 2 months now. We are settled in our apartment and it feels like home. We already have had visitors: Jason, Josh and of course the granddaughters Lola and Bella. We really like it here...not to live forever but for a one year contract it is nice. We live in Midtown which is definitely city life. We walk to restaurants, parks, coffee shops. We sit out on our balcony and listen to the city sounds. Fortunately our balcony backs up to some huge beautiful pine trees. People in Atlanta are really friendly and nice. It's definitely kinder in the south. My job is great. Everyone is really nice and I like what I am doing. Ken is busy being my PA (Personal Assistant) which is really, really nice. I know why people ... read more

We spend the last couple days getting settled. We paid our first rent and actually did laundry at the apartment. We will move our 'stuff-mainly clothes' in Tuesday and actually sleep there. We only agreed on one month to see if we like it. It is a basement apartment and although it doesn't look like a basment, there could be some dampness. Anyway, we did laundry; I had more paperwork to complete. We had a late lunch, got gas and headed back to the campground. We took a walk and sat by the lake. Ducks from across the lake heard us and came swimming over, got out of the lake and walked up to us. After a few minutes since we didn't have anything to feed them, they got back in the lake and swam away. ... read more
