We spent last week together at Mom & Dad’s house, helping them to clear out everything they could let go of. \u00a0Roy’s brother, Scott, came from Michigan to be a part of our little reunion and sorting force. \u00a0Roy’s sister, Lynn, and her husband, Tim, live just minutes away from Mom & Dad, and have been an anchor for them as aging brings challenges into their lives. \u00a0We were blown away by how grateful Mom & Dad were for us being there and getting rid of tons of their stuff!!! Go figure!<\/p>\n

Dad & Mom sat and “supervised” while we cleaned up their garage. \u00a0Of course there were treasures that Roy, Lynn, and Scott couldn’t pass up. \u00a0Somehow Roy ended up with a few trunks full of stuff, waiting for our return to California in January or May.\"blog<\/a>\"blog<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking good, right?\"blog<\/a>We celebrated Mom & Dad’s 65 years together at their favorite Chinese restaurant!\"blog<\/a>We sorted through all of Grandpa Chet’s (Dad’s dad) etchings\u00a0\"blog<\/a>and took pictures of all of them, as well as Mom’s paintings, so that we all can have a digital record and all the grandkids can choose favorites that they’d like to have hanging in their homes!\"blog<\/a>Next stop, the office closets!!, here are Mom’s paintings of herself and Dad back in the day!<\/p>\n
