Pine Valley respite

 It's been pretty crazy lately with moving Anna Lou to an assisted living facility.  I don't have to pick up dinner and bring it to her every night now, but we've had so many things to take care of that I've been spending every afternoon getting things set up, moved, transferred, changed it seems like.  And Paul has been doing the same on other things.  We have the major move everything out of her house and get it ready to sell coming up and it looks like the siblings will not be too much help as usual, so it's going to be a big deal.  We bought a little camp trailer several weeks ago, but never got to take it out yet.  We just needed a little time to unwind, so Saturday afternoon we had finished all of our chores and took a little respite up to Pine Valley.  It was very peaceful with almost no one there after we got past the lake.  We took our afternoon snack with us and enjoyed it up there.  It was pretty cold, but it was beautiful and peaceful and we enjoyed it so much!  Then that night we forgot a Christmas with the Carpenter's concert that I had gotten as a gift.  So DUMB!
