We have a rocking chair that makes appropriate creaky stretches with each arc of a rock. The chair was in storage but it is now sitting right next to me. The “new” house is full of fantastic nearly 100 year old creaks. Every step in the house is a sound and after a day or [...]

If you follow me on twitter then you probably rolled your eyes over my tweets more than once yesterday. They went a little something like this: My Mother starts a NEW JOB today!! I’m getting ready to drive my Mother to her NEW JOB right now! I just dropped my Mother off at her office!!!!!!!! [...]

Obviously it has been a very jam packed couple of days here. On top of getting Mom ready to head up North there was a huge, massive work project that was coming to it’s close. So all of the client meetings and midnight hour e-mails and last minute touches involved with that were happening (as [...]

Ahoy! We have landed. After what felt like days and days of driving thanks to horrible weather and early sunsets we have, at last, arrived at a most comfortable, safe and cherished temporary haven. What a long strange trip it has been. It really is a mind blow to realize that just a little over [...]

Waking up in Atlanta and wanting pancakes. Guess what- I don’t live in Florida any more. Kind of having some odd emotional reverbs about that. I mean as much as Florida wasn’t my ideal it was where W was born and where GM died. Totally sore and exhausted from the final days of scramble but [...]
