Big Bird has flown East...
This morning was a combination of excitement and confusion. Looking forward and looking back. Finally mostly packed, three suitcases, two teetering around 46 pounds (50 pound limit! Mostly clothes). 9 boxes packed and ready to be shipped. (mostly books!).
Walker's new apartment is all ready for him. He heard yesterday that they were painting, possibly removing carpet and replacing with area rugs (old wood floors). He has a bed, three dressers, a couch and loveseat, dishes and a bicycle waiting for him there, thanks to the generous community he is moving into. He'll be living in the whole upstairs floor of a cute older home on a tree-lined street of other cute older homes.
I didn't go to the airport as Phil was dropping Walker off on his way to work. That's ok. We said goodbye at home. I think I'm ok without the stress and tension of the traffic and drop off!
We had a great summer. Lots of good family time and nice memories. The best weather ever. We find the weather in Pennsylvania is very similar to our weather. The main difference is the humidity levels. Walker is going into a week of rain and thunderstorms in his new town. Fortunately, that is the kind of weather Walker especially enjoys. He is seriously looking forward to teaching Latin to youngsters at Coventry Christian School in Pottstown Pennsylvania.
I started this blog as a "project" when I sent my youngest child off to college. I've been posting for 4+ years. I think its time to retire and move on to something else. Maybe another blog...with crafts and tutorials? I'll let you know. I also have a somewhat private blog with recipes. Easy, few ingredients, cast iron cooking, one pot meals, you get the idea. I may publish that one too. Its mainly for Walker. He can access the recipes and ingredient list via his smartphone while he's grocery shopping.
Thank you for following along on my various events, interests and distractions. (nine hundred and twenty two posts, counting this one) My blog has served its purpose, which was to remind me there are plenty of fun and interesting things going on around me all the time. I will probably post more on facebook now. See you there!
