In the beginning of June...Lisa, Tom and I
went to help Sam and Brittney pack up to move to Texas.
There was lots to do ... from trimming trees,
sorting through Annette's clothes, etc. and just cleaning things out.
It was great being able to help Sam sort and decide what to save.

Plus we had a great time together and had
a chance to meet up with dear people! Very special time!

Breakfast on the deck before our work day began!
Sorting all of Annette's clothes, etc. We decided we were the
ugly step-sisters who didn't fit the glass slipper :)
A great meal after a long hot day!
We found a great charity to donate the 20+ bags of clothes and shoes...
there are many women the Nashville who will be very blessed!
Getting ready for a great evening with Jim and Amy, Val
and cousin Jeanine and Brett with sweet baby Lucy!
The whole gang!
Our mornings... on the deck in PJ's!
We're not all on our phones just ignoring each other...
We're air-dropping pics!
One last night at Jim and Annette's cabin... now sold!
Tom singing "Real Life" written by Jim.

Sending off Sam, Brittney, Dali and Jet! Love them all!
On their way...
Tom and I finished the amazing job Sam and Brit started
... getting all the hearts boxed, covered and elevated for storage.
Tom spent time in the woods...
clearing many paths and this amphitheater!
We found where 2 streams met to form a V!
Tom started clearing to uncover a hidden...
Heart!
This is to top of it...the point is behind us.

There is an amazing gouge on the left with big gnarly roots running through it.
Perfect!! An imperfect heart - so symbolic!
The House!! All cleaned up as we drive away!
HEARTLAND!!!
We talked, prayed and dreamed so much these two weeks!
Excited to see what God has planned!
Check out Annette's Hearts ...
This is what will be consuming me in the future.

We had a wonderful Mexican dinner out in West Hollywood...
LA's oldest Mexican Restaurant!
We celebrated James' 27th Birthday... soooo special!
Had wonderful ice-cream and a walk after.
The next day we saw great views from the beautiful Griffith Observatory!
And picnic'd at a winery! So lovely!
Such a gorgeous day!
We ended up at a Malibu beach! A fun and refreshing day!
The next day we relaxed and poked around Eagle Rock,
where James lives, such a great area of LA! We enjoyed
coffee in a cute little place then shopped for and planted
some plants for James' apartment!
