Happy Birthday Bret

Today is my brother Bret's birthday. He would have been 53 years old today. He has been gone since 1995 and not a day goes by that I don't think of him and wish he were here still. My brother Bret and I were everything for each other for so very long. Nobody knew us like we knew each other. We were best friends, kindred spirits. Now he is gone and I wish so many times that if one of us had to go and leave the other I would be the one to go. He was a much finer person than I could ever hope to be. I miss him every day.

Moving In

Five days in our new place now. No furniture yet; will rent a truck and empty storage next week. Three bedrooms, two baths. Not huge but big enough for now. Carson City, Nevada is where we will call home for at least the next year. It is my hope that my daughter and her family stay here, in Carson City, while the kids attend school. These kids have been uprooted enough.
Today we got library cards and stocked up on books to read while the weather is still rather cool. Tomorrow we shop for some needed household items and go for haircuts. Then perhaps a drive up to Tahoe.
