We can't put how we feel into words. We have loved it here. Absolutely loved it.
We will miss the trees, the solitude, the birds, the deer, the coyotes.
It is trite, we know, but we have lived life to the fullest here.
But we don't want rest on that. We want to see if there is something "else" out there. We have purchased a home in Leisure World, in Mesa, AZ, and we love that home and the life we can have there. But that's not really why we are moving. Leisure World will be our "jumping off" place to our beloved deserts. Now we can get to those remote desert areas without having to drive 2000 miles. And it will be our "jumping off" place to who knows where?
We want to see more of our wonderful country, so we will. We will spend our summers going every which way. We don't know yet. We don't really care right now, as we feel that it is that we still have a spirit of adventure that we want to embrace.
We feel like we have "done" Whidbey Island, gotten all we can from it. And it has been absolutely glorious. We don't want to leave it when we are tired of it. We want to leave when we love it.
And move on to something else. We don't know what, but check back in two years and we'll tell you.
Thank you Whidbey Island home. You have been our Brigadoon, and we will always love you.
