I'm looking ahead to a lonely summer. My inlaws arrived yesterday. After they spend a few days here, they're flying A back to Georgia with them. Honestly, my baby flying without me scares me. I will struggle to sleep for the 24 hours or so that she will be traveling. But after that initial, terrifying … Continue reading Looking Ahead
Should I Start a Substack?
I'm debating starting a substack, possibly more than one. The platform seems fascinating. I just signed up for an account so I can subscribe to other creators, but I think I want to do one too. I have a few topic ideas. 1. Poetry 2. Art and Photography 3. Homemaking and marriage 4. Faith 5. … Continue reading Should I Start a Substack?
Home
We're on the island! C has already started work. Tomorrow is the work picnic. I might go with him but I'm not decided as I have been very unwell this week. This week has actually been pretty awful for me. Bipolar mood swings have rendered me exhausted and unable to function. Fortunately we are staying … Continue reading Home
Headed to Our New Home
On the plane about to go to our new home. Hawaii has been lovely. Last night, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The show was wonderful and the villages were great.

In Hawaii
We arrived in Hawaii yesterday afternoon. The dogs arrive today. Right now we're driving along Fairington Highway on the leeward side. It was so sweet. When we arrived at the airport, C had someone there to give is leis with real flowers. Gorgeous. Write later.

L’s Last Day
The movers come to start packing our house tomorrow, so L's last day with us is today. Her coordinator will be picking her up today. Having an exchange student has been a wonderful cultural experience, and L has become family to us. We wanted to take her out for a nice lunch, but the car … Continue reading L’s Last Day
Busy Day
I got up at 5 to drive to another city to drop the car off for shipping. It didn't take that long to get there, but driving on the highway makes me nervous, and if I'd left at the appropriate time, I would have hit traffic. So I left while it was dark. Since I … Continue reading Busy Day
