This is fascinating and I’m loving your updates so much!! What an incredible serendipitous event to learn you bought a place off the same road your fathered traveled all those years ago! Just wow, it was meant to be!! We cannot wait to hear more and see more photos. Rick and I couldn’t agree more with what you said about choosing somewhere for your final chapter where you enjoyed vacationing. Rick and I hope to retire in a few years up north near Traverse City as we LOVE that area as well as being closer to Mackinac Island. Plus my brother has a cabin near there and my sister, BIL and her family are planning on building a home near there as well for their retirement. ☺️
Ooooh what great plans you are plotting. We're heading to Saaremaa Island off the Estonian west coast today for a few days . . . we were originally plotting to find property there (something about islands, eh?) but -- as I was sharing -- things brought us here still on the water. Can always visit the islands (better get started considering how many Estonia has ha ha)
We are bonded in many ways, my friend (including photos of a birthday party of yours -- 16? -- and a chocolate cake in my parents basement I recently found 😊 -- as I've been scanning scrapbooks. ). Thanks so much for keeping connected.
Ohhh my goodness, this is fantastic! I hope you are preparing for visitors... just as I read the word thunderclap, a resounding thunderclap rang out behind me! Apparently weather is approaching...
Oh thank YOOOOU my friend. Apologies as I'm just realizing there are messages here. Oh the learning going through my brain these last six weeks 😆 Much appreciated.
This is a wonderful introduction to hear about your journey ending up where your family was. I'm so glad you've have found yourselves in this place!
Much appreciate your support, Mary! ❤️

Fascinating! Some of my family came from Riga too!

Oh how wonderful to read your "voice" today, Lisa! I'm glad y'all are settling in well, and the new place sounds perfect for you.
