We are giving our notice that we will be leaving you all for just a while. This will be temporary, but long enough that a "farewell" is warranted. We are heading to the beautiful, sleepy town of Savannah, to be closer to family and to find more work for the man of the house.
While we are down there, we plan to work hard, save lots, and eventually find a spacious plot of land for all of us to happily live out our days. Until that time, please don't scare the future inhabitants with your midnight snack runs (you, possum and raccoons) and peek-a-boo surprises (you, snakes). While the chickens are already long gone, we have already said our good-byes with them.
We hope that the veggies left behind will offer nourishment for those who find them and know what to do with them. Cilantro, thyme, basil, marjoram, sage, parsley, rosemary, and mint, you have provided wonderful, colorful flavors to our plates for the past four years. May you continue to do so for those who find you thriving.
We are walking away, not defeated, but anxious to start anew. To take what we have learned on this journey, and to apply that to what we shall encounter on our new one. We know where we want to be. We know what it will take to get there. And we, as a family, will be there, one day. And we will then invite all our friends to join us in reunion: the snakes and possum, raccoons and chickens, creeks, turtles, treehouses, herbs and veggies.
And until that time, farewell...
With love and respect,
The Murphys
I wish you well. There is always hope in the future, especially if guided by prayer. <3
