It is that time again. Time to pack, time to move, time to put down new roots, time to make a commitment. Time to say yes to a new residence and yet again time to make room for a new foster.
Yes, it's like a revolving door here. This time the revolving door is spinning us out to a small acreage in the country. We've been pondering if this is a brilliant decision or the act of the slightly addled.
It means we'll be in this part of the state for a while. Until now I was leery of planting those roots. Home was Omaha, and this was a temporary assignment. Now its time to embrace what this area offers. I can finally plant my Mom's hosta's, my iris and my good neighbor Ralph's rhubarb. We can get all of our things out of storage and finally unpack them.
We'll have two bathrooms, two fireplaces, two acres of fenced land and two acres of yard, plus a portion of a small river. Plus a basement for when it storms. Heck yes I'm thrilled to have a second bathroom and a basement. And we'll have a new foster.
We debated taking a new foster right now. But sometimes saving a life can not be scheduled around packing and moving. Like finding our new home, it just happens, so you seize the moment. Jump in with hearts wide open and see where the road goes. That is our plan.
