Thanks again, everyone, for the kind words and well wishes. It’s an exciting time for our family, albeit a big, new change, but certainly one for the better.

Martin, unfortunately he’s in WA…my daughter found out she was expecting literally days after the closing of the sale of our WA home. Had it been a week later, we could’ve cancelled the sale, but by then it was too late. Just a case of very, very bad timing.

But we rented a home in WA and helped them with things the first month, so were able to help them segue into their new routine and stage of life, and happily spend a month with our new grandson — win-win — and we’ll be making many trips back to WA and flying them down to us.

Sorry to hear that, was hoping you were moving closer to them! I am sure even with the distance it is a great thing!

Haven't looked at this thread in a while. Congratulations Ron! IS your grandkid in the Northwest or down near where you live now?

Hey, congrats, Ron! As my mother tells us constantly, being a grandparent is "SOOOO much more fun than being a parent!", lol.

Enjoy!

Congrats! What are you going to go with? Pa-pa, Grandpa, Grands, etc?

Papa. That’s what my Dad was to my daughters, so I’m keeping the tradition going.

Thanks again, guys, appreciate it.

Anyone else here from North Florida? We just had a snow storm that dropped 8"s of snow in a day. Pretty sure that set records here.
