Ling's 19th Hole

It was on Dec. 26, 2004 that we moved to The Villages. It has been cold here, but looking at these pictures, it was beautiful, but very cold. Callie is shown in the picture looking at the tree. Her perch was right next to it, and she guarded it as if it were her own. (It was!) We got a huge snowfall on Dec. 24, 2004, and, it was a little doubtful that we would get to leave on the 26th. We hated to say good-bye to our beautiful home in the woods, but were eager to get to Florida to start our new lives. Terri helped Jana drive and I sat in the back with Callie and the two boys, Nike and Sammi. Thought I would post these pictures and blog, as it is hard to believe we have been gone from Ohio for 6 years already.
Again this year, I will be staying home to give Callie her shots and IV, and Nike his medications. It doesn't make for the best of holidays, but there are responsiblities with "parenthood." I enjoy being in the warm temps, and my friends here, but it would be nice to see my family and my Ohio friends during the holidays. Until I can travel at all, I will have to wish you all the best from The Villages. Have a great holiday, everyone. Happy New Year.
