Change

Thursday, 29 June was a crazy day but life changing.

We received word from Stan and Margie in Colorado that Stan’s daughter Wendy had given birth to a beautiful little girl named Grace, We wish Wendy a speedy recovery.

That same day we received the email from Margie we sold our car, the second to the last tangible thing remaining for us in this country (the last being our furniture in storage in Vermont).

I know what you’re going to say: on the face of it that doesn’t seem like terribly big news and certainly compared to the birth of a child it is clearly of lesser importance to be sure. Nevertheless, selling our car was one of the primary reasons we returned to the US, and we deemed it crucial before beginning our Paris phase of life. One less link removed from the chain connecting “there” with “here”. But what to do with all that “stuff” in storage remains the last question, to which there is no answer, at least not yet.

Take care Wendy.
