Memories…As I leave here and my new found friends..I already miss them…Every couple of years I move…But I time stamp the people and places of every place I have lived..Does anybody else do this? You drive down the street realizing soon you will never drive here again? I will keep contacts of my dear friends here and be back for next years Indy 500 and stay at Paulies house for the weekend…But deep inside…I know my time here isn’t long..It’s exciting to move but depressing to leave here…I’m time stamping everything I can here in Indiana…It’s been a great run…

I can so relate to this. Leaving my home of 20 years where I spent most of my married life with my late husband was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done… but it was time. Even now I feel almost overwhelming grief when I remember that last night I spent there, knowing I would never return. And I haven’t, even to visit the old neighborhood. Just can’t.

I did have the quite unique experience of seeing what happened to it after I left on national TV. It was sold to TBS for a 13 week reality show, “Lowe’s House Rules.” I found myself screaming at the TV, “WTF?!!! You’re bricking in the control panel of the hot tub! Are you nuts?” Very surreal experience.
