flying twice as high

August 11, 2009 | Filed Under familial 

last week

the long drive there, the long drive back. in between, days in the breeze, the sunny 72 degrees, even the grass alive in the wind. family every day, in every way. too many desserts, late nights, the phoenix, better than before, the carousel for many tickets, again and again. isaac’s guitar, the candle on the deck, birds in the morning, birds by night, cicada scream from the woods. amazing thrifting, yard sailing, indian rug steal over which i’m still in shock.

this week

hopefully, some photos of knoebels and a post or two. for certain, catching up on Royal orders and packing! and then moving into the new house. ernie is painting all week and more painting will follow. it was hard to choose colors, but, at last, i think we did.  hopefully they are the right colors. there is a story about ernie and my dad painting our entire (huge) living room orange when it was supposed to be red, proving that it’s a good idea not to trust the color that i choose by my very own self.

next week

unpacking, searching for things like the colander, cords and cables, that other shoe of jude’s, toothpaste, towels, the butterfly template that i’m always misplacing, moving or not.

and all the while, 90+ degree temperatures, sweet tea in glasses faster than i can make it, lola’s! new! teeth!, and too much mario cart.
