I was tempted to title this, “We May Never Pass This Way Again,” (okay, who remembers Seals and Croft. Diamond Girl? Summer Breeze? ) but I have always loved to travel, and hated goodbyes.

As we prepare the house for our departure, I realize there are parts of this small estate I’ve never really seen.  The window frame for the tiny window for the laundry room. The boomerang imbedded in a riot of bush limbs outside our bedroom.

Okay, so other things have clamored for attention. The birth of a son. Cats and dogs.

Speaking of which, we  have two delightful cats. Indoor/outdoor.

Okay, one really charming, personable and adventurous cat, and one cat with hermit-like tendencies that fears its own shadow and would be the perfect companion on a cross-country bus trip if you love to read and sleep.  So that kind of averages out to two delightful cats.

We would love to take them in our cross-country rolling one-room schoolhouse, but our quota of incredibly irresponsible choices is maxed out for 2014. Yes, we are already taking the dog.

So we are looking to place the cats in a loving home, until we are ready in August to move to Satellite Beach, FL. We really hate to separate them.  They have their own two-story home.

Think about it, if you love cats.  If you fall in love with them, we will understand, and would just like to drop in on them now and then when we get back this way.
