Good-bye John, we'll miss you!

Last night Tim and I moved a couch, chairs and some end tables out of our friend John's childhood home. John was at a local restaurant with his godson, Eric, and had just arrived from Miami to close on his mother's home.

While John and Eric grabbed a bite to eat on the way back from the airport, Tim and I hustled to the Bibles for Missions thrift store to get their before closing at 8 p.m. We got their in the nick of time, and even had a moment to join John and Eric for some dessert.

John and Tim have been lifetime friends, even through John's move to Washington D.C., Hawaii and now Miami. John's mom now lives nearby him in Miami, and a couple of years ago joined him in Hawaii--now her house has finally sold. A chapter has ended.

John was anxious to escape the Minnesota chill, so he will be leaving town soon after the closing today. Since the house is sold and his mom isn't here any more, there won't be as much reason for him to return. We'll miss him, with his Hawaiian Macadamia nuts or other special treats from places far away. Hopefully we'll be able to visit him in the southern climes someday. Hopefully in the winter time.

But just not during tax season, unfortunately. ;)

Take care John, and keep in touch!

Till next time,
