My Grandparents moved out to Washington this summer. They’ve lived in the same beautiful house on the same beautiful lake in the same Nebraska town for over 40 years. The move has been somewhat difficult, as you can imagine. Its not easy to move from all those memories, traditions, and routines, but they’re getting settled in.
Last night they had all the Washington Freeds over for a cocktail party at their place. Its the first social gathering they’ve had in their new place, and I think it really was the final event that christened their home. Their new place, though much smaller, still had the same feel as the living room back in Hastings. Part of it was the similarity in decorations, lighting, and placement of furniture, but most of it was seeing them comfortable and happy in their new surroundings. It was a very pleasant evening, and I’m glad we were able to be there.
