First, to all of not-so-distant new neighbors, thanks so much for the good wishes. To give a bit of perspective I want to share this. The first person Ed called after our ceremony was his ex-wife, the mother of our two adult kids. She is a friend and very supportive of our twenty-year relationship. My hope is that the progeny from their relationship will wonder why this was ever such a big deal. We have seven grand children now. I hope they will not call me "Uncle" after this. (remember the "funny uncle" references?)
To Beau, your greetings and acceptance are very important and appreciated. I see your children, ours and our grand kids becoming great friends in the near future!
To Cat, thank you so much. Ed and I look forward to meeting you in person. You are a wealth of knowledge, knowledge that we will need soon!
To Mark and Richard, we haven't met yet, but have been vicariously enjoying your new home- you guys are very talented!
StillHope, thanks so much for the good wishes. Come by to see the house in September!
Carey, I think we are going to be good friends next year. I love your generosity and the support you have shown to the Punatics here. Thank you.
And finally Pam. We supported your effort in Thailand and I am thankful for your support of our relationship.
