The Bookish Girl

I am lying on an air mattress in our bedroom.  Sophia is hiccuping next to me, trying to drift off to sleep, Robby is asleep and both dogs are at my feet.  The room is empty but for a half disassembled bassinet, a swing and our random cloths.  Everything else is contained in a 28 ft (!) truck sitting outside our home.  Our Home.  Our belongings inside or out – this is still Our Home.

We close on the sale tomorrow.  Today will be spend gathering the little stuff up, cleaning, and relishing our last day here.

It will also be spend honoring the Dads in my life.  One of which is a first timer and has excelled and reached a new level of championship knowledge.  The other has been a champion for years and years and now takes on the role as Grandfather.

Very lucky I am.

See you all on the flip.  You all will likely only notice the background change in my photos and a shift in content ever so slight.  I however, will be different and changed and transformed.  Onward!

    For some reason I am sitting here crying my eyes out at this post. Congrats on the new dad celebrating this day, and to all the dads in your life. Congrats for moving onward and upward. I’ll miss seeing you at every knitting get-together we have in these parts, but am sending warm wishes for a wonderful future your way. Hug that baby and have a great and wonderful life! Mwah!

    New digs coming soon. Good luck as you enter a new phase in life. Remember when you start house hunting to leave room to grow. For your stash.

    I love those moments when life is “reduced” to the most important things. There’s nothing better than being surrounded (literally) by the people and beasties that you love so dearly.

    Best wishes tomorrow and in this new chapter for the Bookish Family. Keep in touch!

    Good luck, and have a safe trip! And I hope you packed your printer somewhere obvious (mine is still missing, which means it must be in one of the boxes marked “china.”).

    Change is good (every time I have moved, I say this, and it usually turns out to be true). Good luck with the move, and have safe travels to your new destination!

    It’s a little less exciting here today and I think that New York State has a bit of a new sparkle . . .

    Best of luck with your move!
