Moving to the Midwest was a big deal. Just this week, I spent some time in the local DMV and obtained a new license, new plates for the car, and a new title. A few days ago, I applied for Social Security benefits. I’ve been working since I was 11 years old, and this is the first time in my life that I have received a check of any kind (absent a tax refund) from the government.
A friend had been keeping Teddy for me until I was settled in the Midwest, and now that I’m reasonably “settled” – she has rejoined me.
It really is a whole new life. And as hard as this transition has been, it was absolutely the right thing to do. It’s truly a fresh start.
If you want to contact Rose, you can find her on Facebook, via the group “Sears Modern Homes.”
If you’ve been a faithful reader of this blog, you’ll notice that it went offline for a few days. It is back, and for now, I hope to keep it going for a time.

So glad you are reunited with Teddy and happy in your new location.
I am looking forward to your new book one day.
Does Teddy know how to pout?
Rose,
I just discovered you tonight. I live in a beautiful example of an Ashmore in NW Illinois. However I don’t think it is a true kit, because the beams in the basement appear to be old barn beams. Do you see this often?
Glad you’re finally settled. Did you find a house to call home? Were you required to get the Federal Drivers License? If you had one before, was it difficult to change from one state to another? With all the flooding, you know where not to settle down. As to posting from a phone, I just got my first smart phone 2 days ago and only know how to put numbers in and make calls. Teaching old dogs new tricks takes time. Sending peace and love, Lyn
I was wondering where Teddy had gotten off to. Good to see that both of you are flourishing.
