In 2016, we spent our last holiday at the Lazy J and started to say “Goodbye” to Red Lodge.  Part of our hearts will always be there.  I am so glad Teddy got to know that property, even if for just a short while.  It ties together all the good doggies.  Back then we would have honestly said, “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”  However, with the passage of time, the hard parts are fading and the good memories live on.  Somewhere, I still have my original jar of Lazy J soil. 

From this plot of vacant land, we two made a dream come true.

From the very beginning…

to the very end.

Goodbyes make you think. They make you realize what you’ve had, what you’ve lost, and what you’ve taken for granted.

– Ritu Ghatourey

You get a strange feeling when you leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love, but you miss the person you are at this time and place because you’ll never be this way ever again.
