The upstairs is totally empty and ready for the wood floor renewal. That begins tomorrow. Echoes reverberate throughout the house. It is eerie and wrong and right.
In front of me is a drawing done many years ago. We will take it into town and have it scanned. It is a drawing showing a curly-haired dad, a smiling mom holding hands with a young girl; a joyous trailer, a green truck with lights shining; and best of all, a cheery fire. This treasure was unearthed this past weekend, amidst tears, laughter, parties and numerous memories.
There is a new/old trailer in our future. We ordered cat carriers for the trip to Washington. We are looking at routes and wondering how many stops the pets will need. How many will we need. What tapes or CD’s will amuse us? I am thinking a quietly read novel will be good for the critters and me. Any suggestions?
We are closing in…really, really closing in.
