The Pond
Well, I hate to leave Valynne and Cape Cod, but when you need to see your drinking buddies then what can you do.
The reality is I need to come back in order to complete the closing sale of the house, which I will certainly celebrate with a few pints. It’s been a long time coming. Then I will be looking forward to getting back to Valynne and our new life.
In my experience change is always rewarding and should be embraced rather than feared. Yes, you miss the familiar things and all the friendships you have made, but real friendships cut across all boundaries so I’m sure they will endure. I’ve always wanted to live by the water and now my wish has come true, so I’m not complaining.
I’m looking to get a flight early next week and be around for a week to 10 days and here’s the punch line…….I need your help. I still have a number of things to move out of the house. If you can help the beer’s on me…if you can’t…the beer’s still on me. And the pizza. Ken, can you organize an evening at my place?
See you all soon.
PS If you have claimed or would like to claim anything on the Estate Sale list (Scroll down towards the bottom of the blog to see what is left) now is the time! Call my cell at 303-478-6058. Be sure to ask for your free bonus gift (from the garage) with purchase! That was Valynne’s idea.
Whatever you need, Paul, we can help — just let us know.
So good to hear your voice, even if it is only in written form.
xoxo,
emily & mike
I am going to have to make sure Paul saw this comment from you, Em…Thank You, sweet friends! XOX
Thank you to everyone who responded to Paul via e-mail. Paul is en-route to CO today (Sunday 11/08).
I will be blogging later today : ), most likely on how to respond (leave a comment)to a blog. It is a bit tricky at first…
Change should be embraced rather than feared…
I am in the midst of change myself right now. Have moved from my colorado home right smack dab into chicago. i am a bit out of my element. it was fun at first and now i realize that i am not going “home”–wherever that is. so to embrace what the day may bring is looking more like a blessing.
best to you both

It is so good to hear from you, Alane. I suppose it is most often true that any kind of change (even good) is a bit disorienting. I am a bit embarassed to say I have only been to O’Hare, or driven through Chicago on my way across country, but from what I hear the city is a sight to behold come Holiday time – let me know! Here’s hoping you get to feeling more at home there, and if not; that you simply move on. Lots of Love, V
PS I saw your Blissful Botanica booth set up on Fb – love it! Are you doing lots of Holiday shows?
