It's been a month since I came home -- making the trip in 14 rather pleasant hours on the July 14th and back to --- well, everything -- beginning on the 15th. The intervening month has been filled with catching up at work, house guests including our two daughters and 3 grandchildren for a week as well as my brother and his daughter and granddaughter, a family reunion, the start of a new role at the CCBC (cataloging coordinator), and finishing a promised paper (unrelated to this internship). A thunderstorm rolled through with winds that left our sweet corn lying flat on the ground. It has since nearly righted itself and we have been enjoying fresh sweet corn as well as many other fresh vegetables from the garden. The weeds still reign supreme, but the pumpkin has leaped the garden fence and is heading for new horizons. Ben, Amy & Samuel chose new fish for the fish tank, and Heather's dog is visiting for a year while she (that is, Heather, not Gracie) completes a residency in Washington D.C. Don't tell Heather, but I think Gracie likes it here in the country:) I miss Abby & Brooke (and their parents) but it's good to be home with my better half -- 39 years and still crazy about each other (or is it just crazy?) But this isn't what this blog is all about -- so in the next posting, I'll tell you about my exciting last day...
