My father's health is not improving, and my mother is not large enough or strong enough (or young enough) to take care of him without more help, especially not in a house that is not really suited to an aging couple in frail health.
So, they are moving to a more-accessible mobile home in Corvallis, to be nearer to their doctors and to emergency services.
They will be moving early in the new year, which means, among other things, that this will be The Last Christmas (cue portentous music) in the house at Bellfountain.
David and Tom and their families will be gathering at the house, and will help with some of the moving (and will take away some quantity of family heirlooms, as will Kathe and I).
It probably won't be too difficult or too tearful, but I reckon it's going to be interesting.
//The Magic Eight-Ball says, "You can cue portentous music all you want, but it still is going to be The Last Christmas."\\
