Mom is stable and Hospice is doing a great job overseeing her care. We are comfortable that we can leave soon with mom in good care.
We do need to start getting our "home" moving in a southerly direction. The high temerature in the low 60's today certainly reminded us of this! But then there are boat repairs and waves still to contend with. It appears Thursday may be our day assuming our repairs are complete and the waves go away..... Stay tuned.

Packing, Moving to Storage and Boat, Travel and Family Matters-General Update
Been really busy since our last post. Moved out of condo Thursday through Monday July 30 to Aug 3. Sold some furniture, gave some to family, and donated the rest to St Vincent DePaul Society.
Condo view:
Empty condo:
Everything we are not taking on the boat fit into a 5x10' self storage unit and we'll see that stuff in two years. Spent Tues and Wed the 4th and 5th, packing the boat. Thursday and Friday we flew to Jacksonville FL and back to register the boat and get drivers licenses and voters cards. We are now officially Florida residents. New mailing address:
Sat morning (Aug 8) Julie's mom called and was not doing well health wise. Long story short, Julie got her to the emergency room in Grand Haven and she was transferred to Spectrum Heart Center in Grand Rapids. She did stabilize under care there and came home on Wed this week. She is suffering from progression and complications of her 20+ year fight with autoimmune liver disease. Julie and her brothers spent a lot of time the last few days with Mom and health care arrangements....Hospice is now helping Mom and Courtney out. We are very supportive of this.
We will delay our departure on the Loop until we are confident Mom is stable and in good care (they do not want help....very independent thinkers). It is a really tough time for Julie. We appreciate very much the thoughts and prayers for Julie's mom and family.
Also got air conditioning fixed on the boat on Friday....thank you Reaume Heating and Cooling!!
Still getting a few more last minute purchases and other maintenance and repair items completed as well. We will post next when we decide to leave.
