A New Life

Where does time go?  I haven't blogged in three days.  It was great spending time with Scott and Mary Ellen.  A lot of time just "hanging out" together and laughing.  Sentimental moments at the cemetery.  They spent three days here so they had a chance to unwind.  Scott went bike riding with Marguerite a couple mornings before breakfast.  Mary Ellen and I shared some of our own sense of humor.  We "click" real good in that area.  They plan to be back in a couple weeks.

It has turned quite cooler here.  In the 60's and low 70's today.  About 20 degrees lower than it has been.  I am actually kind of enjoying it.  It is very windy though. 

All the "regulars" are starting to stagger in.  One by one the house is beginning to fill up with repeat guests.  All eight rooms are booked.  This weekend will be one that feels like a sense of normalcy in my life....other than the BIG fact that Ray is not here.

In my journey I am finding that a new life is starting for me.  Slowly as things change I am seeing this new life.  Different furniture.  Different car.  Changes made to the house.  Experiences without Ray sharing them.  Things done (and planned to do) on my own.  A sense of excitement.  A sense of sadness.  A sense of guilt.  I'm in complete control now and that's scarey. 

Amity is doing better.  Maybe she was just having a "down" day on Monday.  I'm keeping my eye on her and giving her as much love as I can. - Jimmy
