I had a nice walk today, mainly because it was a morning spent with my beautiful niece.

We met in Winlaw and walked along a beautiful section of the rail trail. The puppies were delighted and Shanara even got to jump into the pond (swamp) and chase sticks. Abby was delighted simply to lie down in the cool water. Yes, it was hot!

And there was Shanara, walking sedately on the leash with Sandi – with me she just pulls.

Hmmm. Clearly I don’t have Sandi’s magic touch.

So we walked and talked and caught up with each other and it was lovely. She is a woman with a gigantic heart and I am so glad to be related to her.

And then, after a long nap, I pulled weeds in the garden and got bitten a thousand times by mosquitoes.

Tomorrow – an adventure.

And gosh – I wish every single thing about this move was settled. I am finding it stressful and disconcerting to still have a few balls up in the air. I don’t like it.

Deep breath – just let it be.

Looking forward to the Hoffman Process more than anything else – and wishing it was tomorrow.
