A farewell to 1184 Alpine Ave...

This a big step for us..It is hard to believe that we came here 11 years ago in June to visit Mom and Dad, and everything changed...Mom Died in July 2000, and I am glad we could be here for Dad..Now the time is right time for us to make another chapter in our lives..The move to Kansas is going to be a great thing for Dad, Ed and Me..We are going to miss our Children, Grandchild and Friends we are leaving behind...I promise in writting that I will be back at least 4 times and year..But I do expect you all to visit us too...This house has alot of fond memories and if the walls to speak, what stories they would tell...This house has given it's all for our family and it is time for another family to grow old here..
This house needs so much work and this area isn't worth it for us to put much more into it..So it is time to leave..I hope you will all share one of your special moments you had here with us..
My special moment was:Bringing Ed here to meet Mom and Dad..He was so uncomfortable but they were warm and welcoming to him..In fact when Mom hugged him, his arms were out to the side, it caught him off guard..His family were not huggers like us..Mom and Dad welcomed him into our family with open arms..I love then for that... And when Ed worked for the Harbor Police they took Lopsters from illigal traps and they all took them home,LOL..At the time Ed and I didn't like Lopsters so we brought them for mom and dad. We put them in a brown paper bag and rang the door bell and hide..Dad came to the door, the bag started to wiggle. Dad went and got the broom and start poking it.. We were afraid he would kill them before they could eat them so we showed ourselves..We all had a big laugh..You could have seen Dad's face..Priceless..
So now it is your turn to write a special moment you had in this house..
Love you all Norma
