Well, today the last of the Hamiltons pulled out of the driveway.
Quite a welcoming committee. We moved to Fairhope on June 27th and are just now, tonight, spending our first night alone here.
Our boys and their families have taken turns getting us settled and have helped us get accustomed to our new surroundings. The last of the tail lights left this morning and here we are...alone!
I guess we really are "empty nesters" now. In about a month, the last Hamilton son will be married, and although we will be home base in a way, we will not have any seasonal residents, as we have during college breaks, etc. They will each have a home.
How did it happen so fast? Don't know. Are we ready? Not as ready as my washer and dryer!.... but adjusting to the "comings and goings" instead of "comings and stayings"!
Daddy always said, "If you lived here, you'd be home now". I guess there are with certainty two of us that "live here" now!
Thanks guys and girls for the welcoming party! For the love, help and devotion!
Can't wait to see you all next month! Another blessed occaision, another fine day! another reason for lots of hugs and gnome hats!
Love, Mama!
