So today is our last day at Esplanade as members.  Wow.  So many feelings.  So many thoughts.  The movers will be here any moment and I told them, as Jackson Browne told the roadies about his piano, to take my computer last.  As excited as we were over 7 years ago to start our journey, we are now excited to continue it.  If Astor Creek is half as great as Esplanade has been for us, Pat and I will be very happy.  More for family reasons than anything other, we are moving on. 

We are blessed to have this life, and these choices, and to have made such amazing friends.  A house can be temporary, but good friendships are forever.  We take so much with us. 

With much gratitude we are moving on.
