Changes
Its that time of year for us who call The Salvation Army home. No, we are not moving, but both pairs of parents are. I must say that we are very pleased at the distance that our families will be from us for the foreseable future. Mom and Dad Camuti are moving to Portland, Maine, and Mom and Dad Smith are moving to Oneonta, NY.
These last several years there have been between 430-610 miles from our families. The gap closed a bit when we moved to Connecticut, but it was still a good day in the car to visit both of them. Now we are looking at 190 miles for Mom and Dad Camuti and 230 miles for Mom and Dad Smith. Very manageable at 75 mph!
Mom and Dad Camuti will be the Secretary of Program, Women's Ministries Secretary and Divisional Secretary respectively for the Northern New England Division. It will be strange going to visit them in Portland as we know all of the tourist sites and good restaurants. We have even been in their "new" house a few times.
Mom and Dad Smith will be the corps officers for the Oneonta, NY corps. We are very happy they will be closer, and I look forward to visiting Cooperstown just up the road from them on many visits. Their last appointment was near Niagara Falls, so we would go there from time to time when we visited. Now baseball will be the theme. Elaine may not care for Cooperstown, but I can't wait!
These changes will be here before we know it. It seems I finally memorized addresses, phone numbers, cell phone numbers, now that will all change again!
Congratulations on your new appointments Moms and Dads!

It will be nice to have family near.
It's great that you're all going to be closer to each other. That makes vacations and holidays much more manageable.
