I like it in threes

A day in my life, phone movies, to be played simultaneously.

At this point in my life I am averaging a new address every 2 years.

This move went relatively smoothly. Just a few well mannered discussions between my husband and I about whose SH*T was whose. We had collected some. We now have the main living quarters up and running. There is still a basement play/study area with a few piles of aforementioned SH*T, waiting to find a spot. but I think we are within days of finishing. There again, this has been said before.




This time we live in a Gingerbread house. Easy to recognize from the street. Each new house is like a new relationship. With each one you get better at spotting the annoying bits sooner. Take the black and white checked tiles in the kitchen. A nice detail, but so difficult to keep clean. Take a man that likes to dance... did you know I am married to the best dancer of the universe?

So, without further ado. In semi- random order, lots of pictures with few words.

Dear sisters,

I know you are holding your breath, waiting for pictures of our new house - the gingerbread house. They are coming. We are settling in nicely. I am just waiting to add a few finishing touches. So it will look nice, you know. Give me a few days.



For now, I give you V. and a colleague, both better looking than most. He danced for us a while back.



After you left, the blossom trees came out in full bloom in SF, having been tricked into thinking spring had started. Now it rains and rains and rains. Which, as we keep saying to each other, is really good for California, where the reservoirs were running dry. Now it may stop.

In the meantime I am going to my yoga lessons and writing again. Slowly, word for word.

I will be back shortly.
