My dream is now a reality as our departure is just a few days away. Soon Sadie & I will be traveling to new & exciting destinations seeing sights that I only ever dreamed of visiting. Since retiring on 1/1/19, I have been overwhelmed with cleaning out my home, selling, donating, giving away, recycling & trashing 42 years of ‘stuff’ as I prepared it for sale. Plus 4 months of driving back & forth to Lancaster to check on the progress of my tiny home. Soon I will be able to relax ( well, not while driving, 😳 but, when safely parked) ! Driving lessons begin tomorrow night ! Thanks Wendy ! 😘
The hardest part has been saying ‘see you later’ to old & new friends. Friendships that have meant the world to me !! Stores, restaurants & businesses that I frequent will soon be just a memory. As I run last minute errands, I am savoring the beautiful, familiar scenery. I am definitely ready for new experiences, it’s just hard when 2/3 of your life has been spent in the same area.
Everyone assures me I will make friends along the way, maybe I will … maybe I won’t. Guaranteed though, I will be cautious who I befriend, ( that is, until I research them on the internet) ! LMAO 🤣
No matter where I travel & no matter where I land, please know that you all will always be in my thoughts as you are all a very important part of my life !
My wish for each of you is that you stay healthy, that your life becomes all that you want it to be & that all your goals & dreams become a reality.
Goodbyes are not forever;
Goodbyes are not the end.
Goodbyes simply mean I’ll miss you;
Until we meet again !
XO Donna & Sadie
The Adventures of Sadie the Beagle 
Best wishes to you and Sadie as you begin your new adventures together.
