Poems

James has always been a creative soul.  Here are two poems he wrote recently. One he did for me for Mother's Day and the other for his brother to commiserate his broken arm. Enjoy! Mothers Day It's a special time It's a time to rhyme It's a time to rise And open your eyes It's a time to cheer This is the best part of the year You just have to stay in bed Get cosey, rest your head 'Cus it's all about you You won't hear a single boo It's the best day in May It's MOTHERS DAY! Poor Boy Poor boy No joy Poor guy It's not a lie No joke Arm broke Like I said He's not dead! First time That's a rhyme! I feel sad He feels mad I didn't know at all Until Mom made a call I felt sorry So did you Poem's over Now we're through. And while we are on James, here he is at his 4th grade Wax Museum event last night as Benjamin Franklin! ...

The Closing of a Chapter - Sunset Beach, NC

Image
We sold our home on Sunset Beach, NC  in March. It was a bittersweet decision but it had become challenging to get to SSB enough to enjoy it. Also, now living in the Caribbean sealed the deal. So, before all the restrictions of COVID-19 really came into effect, we closed on March 6th.  We were to leave our major things there to retrieve after the last rental in early August. Best laid plans on paper don't always work out! So, on April 10th movers with the help of our agent and the new owners, moved all of our things out of the house to storage.

I am so thankful for the 10 years of wonderful and precious memories we created there with grandparents, cousins, Aunts and Uncles and friends. I am especially thankful for the memories I have of my Dad at Sunset. Here is one of my favorite. We had walked to the ice cream shop after coming off the beach late...

Milestones

We are fast approaching many milestones  - on June 13th the boys will finish their first year of school in VT.  With the completion of a year brings two major school milestones - Thomas will be going into 1st grade in the fall and William will be moving to middle school at Thetford Academy, the school where Bill is Head. James will be moving into 4th grade and that in itself is a wonderful thing, just not as momentous as 1st and Middle School.  (he will be 10 this year but that is for another time!) We are also coming up on the 1 year anniversary of our move to Thetford, VT.  We arrived here on the evening of June 16th to a house with the front lights on, welcoming us.  I am not sure how to put into words the changes and experiences we have had.  Most all have been good. Some have been great and others wonderful.  The scenery and pace of life here is something to relish. Sure, you can speed it all up and have lots of "stuff to do" but the fact of the...
