Per my previous post, Hokusai Says, I mentioned I’d like to allow life to lead me by the hand. Life lead the girls and I to Virginia for Spring Break, where we had many adventures. When Goomommy and Auntie Amanda are the tour guides, fun is gare-UN-teed.

I didn’t do any more planning than throwing our clothes in a suitcase. I made no itineraries. I made no assumptions. I decided enough of life is out of my control these days, it was high-time I learned to just roll with it. There was rain and sun. There was health and illness. There were memories and meals and reminders that it feels amazing to be from somewhere. I’m never sorry when we pack up and head in an Easterly direction.

Thank the good Lord Goomommy returned with us, because life had not taken a Spring Break. Appraisals were in, inspections were done, and lo and behold, a temporary home had to be secured rather quickly. Boxes needed to be packed even more quickly. And in the whirlwind of the last 48 hours, our little team has disassembled our home, moved most of it into storage, and made our final plans to live in an apartment until late summer.

Life indeed took me by the hand, as I suspected it would. It’s time to go, my friends. Godspeed to us all.
