Vacation time!

We're going to visit the old home town; Marcellus, NY. It's at the eastern end of the Finger Lakes, in a really beautiful area. All of my brothers and sisters will also be there at some point in the next week, although some will be arriving after we are already heading home to Wisconsin. I wish we could stay longer, but:
A. Mom's house is only so big - and even with 5 bedrooms, there are way too many people for house at this point.
B. The old vacation time just doesn't measure up. Time desired does NOT equal actual time acquired. Dang it.

Our next door neighbors are moving to South Carolina, leaving the same day we leave for vacation. It took 13 years and them leaving before we finally invited them over for dinner. They are really interesting, smart and just all around nice people. It's a shame that you sometimes don't see what is -quite literally- in your own back yard. Good Luck, Bob and Ruth! Enjoy living in the warm weather. (Wish I was going!)

Moving in to the house is a couple with two young (pre-school) children, two dogs and one cat. We shudder just thinking about it. Course, that is probably exactly how Bob and Ruth felt when we moved in!! What goes around comes around, I guess. I hope we find out more about these folks before one of us moves!
