JAKE

Today we said goodbye to our beloved Golden Retriever Jake.  He came into our lives as a 6 week old puppy and captured the hearts of our family immediately.  He is now 12 1/2 years old and has always been a faithful companion.   His retirement journey has taken him to Hershey Pa to our daughter Melissa and her husband Ty's home.  In a few weeks Jake's "boy" our son Chris will drive him to Carrboro North Carolina to our daughters Steph & Linda.  They have graciously offered to love and care for Jake in his golden years.  Jake will be extremly happy find ZERO steps at his new home!  At his age the steps in our bi-level home were becoming difficult.  

 Our sons and daughters will be visiting us, but Jake will have to wait for us to visit him next spring.  Life without our Jake will be strange.

Welcome to our adventure! 

We've sold our house, packed our bags and are moving to the island of St. John. 

We do have - plane tickets for Oct 1st - a rental jeep for a week- sunscreen - and 10 days housing.

 We don't have - jobs - longterm housing  - or sane minds ,which would make us a wackadoo on St John, so we should fit right in!
