Because of my profession, I have learned over the years that my closest friends will inevitably move away. It's difficult to get permanent positions in the academic world, so my Ph.D. friends end up having to move wherever they can find a job. Dana, Lisa and Tracy all dispersed from Minnesota in 2004-2005, and Kristin and Rachel left Boston in 2009-2010.
Tracy's big sister, Timery, moved to Boston in 2005 a few months after I arrived. We were instant B.F.F.'s, and had a few years of overlap in Boston. She moved away in 2008, but ended up moving to Ipswich in 2010 (if you search this blog, which I started in 2009, you will find 18 entries about Timery!). We found out last week that T's husband, Steve, got a job in VA. Today we had to say good-bye to Timery and her family...
We met up at Bradley Palmer State Park in Topsfield, MA. There is a great wading pool with "spray features" - it was a 50 minute drive from our house and we paid $5 to park.

With a little coaxing S&Z went all in!
"I LOVE IT!!! HOORAY!!!!!"
Baby Natalie was happy on the sidelines,
I am so blessed to have shared so many years living close to Timery and Steve. When it was time to say good-bye, I sobbed like a baby...
