Home again, home again,

jiggedy jog!

I had a truly uneventful flight back to Vermont.  And who would ask for anything more than no events on a flight?

We even landed early at both JFK and Burlington. AND...my checked bag was the second one on the carousel at baggage claim.  That has never, ever happened before!

Of course, it meant extra wait time for me since I had told my son a pick up time that took into account the certainty of a somewhat delayed flight and my bag being its usual last off the plane.  It's always something!  I am being like Tabor complaining that she has to take this trip to France.

There are a few daffodils in bloom in my yard.  The grass is green and may even need mowing by the weekend.  Some buds on the trees.  I missed mud season...although this year it has been dry so, I hear, it was more like dust season.

So I rested today.  Tomorrow I can start spring cleaning!  Again!

  4. Welcome back again, Olga. I'm so glad you had an uneventful flight. I agree with Linda that it's the best kind. I hope you got to watch a movie though.

  5. I do not know how one can manage two houses without some help. AND I find in this country, help can be very unpredictable.

  10. Welcome back to your Vermont home! I think it would be lovely to have 2 places to alternate between. Of course I would choose Maine as my 2nd home... and it would have to be in summer... or maybe Scotland (again in the warmer season)?

  11. Enjoy that beautiful state. You just reminded me the one drawback of having two homes-twice the Spring cleaning. Small price to pay for all the pluses.

  12. Having two homes does mean you have twice the housework, doesn't it? Glad you made it home safe and sound with pretty yellow faces to greet you!

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
