It's beautiful days like today that make me wish I still had my yard to work in, the trails behind the house to walk through and a house filled with family before they all moved to different states. It's fun to look back and if I close my eyes I am right there again. I have four sons - three of whom wanted out of California and one who when the time is right will also probably move out of state.
They live in Washington, Montana and Oregon. It's interesting to me that they all chose the Northwest. One lives just down the mountain from us, our youngest and his son.
We had an acre and I loved yard work. I worked from home doing medical transcription and when I wasn't working I was out in the yard. Our the back yard we could walk down a wash area and over to the a trail that took you to a waterfall. We were at the foot of the mountains so it made sense that our next move would be to the mountains. I would see those mountains every day and always loved to visit them.
We had three weddings in the yard and a couple baby showers, a hot August night party and several other get togethers, poker nights, and i loved having all my family around.
