Sean, his dad, and the boys loaded a truck yesterday, and I headed west. This morning, after a marathon signing session, we unloaded and begin the adventure in Wichita. The babbling brook in our front yard houses a fish the boys have named Cheeto. Flowers are blooming. There’s comfy places to sit inside and out. Life hasn’t fully transitioned yet, but today was a good start. Now we are exhausted. Finishing a project and enjoying the amenities of the home we will come to know and love in the months and years ahead. Then it’s off to bed… for tomorrow, real life beckons again.

Thanks so much to Annette and Everett for housing me last night and showing up to help today. Without your faithful friendship my life would be very different.
