Time to say goodbye.

Well, it has finally arrived, our last day at Riverwood. Sigh! It seems like we just got here, and now it is time to pack up the car and head home. We had a great time here in the country, but it went by far too quickly.

I got up early this morning and took a long time soaking in the view at each window. Tomorrow I won’t have much time to do that because we will pack last minute things and then tackle the job of getting everything in the car. Yike! Seems like our things expand and multiply when we unpack them and then it is a struggle to get everything back into the car for the trip home. This time we even have Christmas gifts to contend with, along with our city clothes, country clothes, snowshoes and boots, bags of books, 2 laptops, a printer, camera bags, sleeping bags, pillows, – and the list goes on and on. Yes it is a major job to get everything squeezed into our little CRV.

After breakfast today we puttered around the house getting things ready to pack, and then we donned our snowshoe gear and headed out to feed the birds before we ventured out on the river for our last walk along the frozen surface. It was a beautiful sunshine filled morning, but very cold. We walked along in silence and just enjoyed the peaceful morning. It was time to say goodbye to Riverwood and we wanted to do it quietly. We are both really sad to leave this time.

We set off tomorrow, but we won’t get home until sometime next week because we will be stopping off in the big city to visit with family for a few days.

The old laptop will be packed away tonight and left that way until I get home, so I won’t be posting anything for a few days. I will look forward to talking to you again at the end of next week.

Have a great weekend.
