This Friday will be the last day that I will set foot in my house. The closing is not for a few more weeks, but once the truck is loaded and on it’s way I will say goodbye to a few, mostly dearly beloved friends before leaving at 4am to catch a flight back to [...]

Ducks in a Row

Four days after our house was “officially” on the market, we received an offer which we accepted the following day. Of course, we’ll find out what happens after the home inspection on Tuesday, but it appears that all the work devoted to getting the place ship-shape worked to our advantage.
I am amazed, and saddened. Don’t [...]
Coming Up for Air

It has been a long, yet altogther too short summer here in this house o’mine. Although I gave myself permission to be creative and capture the moments in which I was doing any activity that might be construed as meaningful in that particular manner, what I failed to realize is how overwhelming all the work [...]

Well, dear friends. It’s official. Boston will soon be our new home. I am in the thick of it right now, calling and coordinating all the various contractors and visits required to put a house on the market. I always think that life couldn’t possibly get any busier, but I should know better by now [...]
Stillness

There comes a time, normally following a number of weeks of high intensity, when my mind shutters out the chaff of the daily doings and my body seeks the equilibrium that was disturbed by the events requiring so much of my limited reserves. One of two things occur at this point; either I get horribly [...]

Oops… the last post was deleted… sorry ’bout that.
The year 2008 has passed. We have witnessed the birth of a new life and the passing of a beloved friend who was too young to leave us behind. We have experienced the welcoming openness of newly found communities and friendships, and the challenges of unexpected events [...]

First, I would like to congratulate myself on my excellent choice of spouse, which is to say, Dearest Husband, I love you ever so much and I am so lucky to have you as my partner even after the latest Cheryl-induced disaster, at which you chose to giggle instead of threatening severe consequences.
It took every [...]
For Every Thing There is a Season

For the first time in quite a number of years, I am not teaching during the Fall semester. Although I enjoyed teaching, I’ve also enjoyed ushering in the Fall with the kids. It had been wonderful to truly appreciate these amazing September mornings with the morning sun mottled by fog providing a chill crispness to [...]
Cuz You Had a Bad Day

Got back from the vacation late yesterday afternoon… and what a vacation it was! Hurricane Hanna skirted up and over the Outer Banks and left most of everything intact. The whole family anxiously watched the weather reports for nearly two weeks before our trip, and with all the worry about whether or not the islands [...]
Busy… At Least I Thought I Was

I was _really_ hoping to have some pictures to go along with this post, but the camera’s battery is dead, and I can not for the life of me find the charger. I’m getting a little worried about that, since we’re leaving for vacation at 4 am on Saturday, that is, if Hanna doesn’t force [...]
