Sad, sad news!

My son made the announcement tonight that he is putting his home and 20 acres on the market and they are moving up country.

I almost fainted.

What about my  grandbabies??!!

They have apparently discussed it and they have decided they want to move up to an area in BC that is on a lake and about four hours from here.  They are concerned about the quality of life their children will have in the area they are now living in, and they feel there is less crime and greater opportunity for the kind of lifestyle they want to have, further inland.  They are both keen on the outdoors.  They have boats and they will be able to use them up there.

I've vacationed in the area they are hoping to move to and it really is very lovely - at least in the Summer.  I'm not so sure about the Winter.

So much for my Nana role huh?  So much for my gardener's paradise.  Whatever will I do?

Both of us Nanas are down here on the coast.  Apparently we are the only reason that they feel bad about this plan.  Both of us will be very sad to not be able to drive for 30 minutes and see our grandbabies.  Sad.  Sad.  Sad.- ;-(

Whose garden will I weed?  How will I show my face on GG?  I'll have nothing to talk about!  I'll have to find a new forum where I can talk about ... I dunno ... vacuuming or dusting or the weather. :-(

No more playing in the garden with my little pal.  :-(

All those treasured moments - finished.;-(

I think I'm gonna cry!

Oh well, they are young and they should spread their wings and do what makes them happy.  I did.  I'm sure we will go back and forth ... and we'll have that lovely new guest room in our new place and they will come to visit.  My d.i.l. says she is going to insist that their new home has a full suite in the basement so that us Nanas can come to visit for a week or so, and feel that they can have a little privacy if we want it.

They seem pretty excited about this idea.  I hope their place sells fast.  It's pretty gloomy out there when Winter sets in.  It's much more appealing when the sun is shining and the flowers are in bloom.  What a lovely piece of farmland it is.  Sniffle.

This is just a tiny view out back.
