The Deed is Done!

21 years @ 24 Thoreau. Two awesome kids, many baseball games, concerts, plays, ski trips and house swaps! A dream come true. And on July 5th the moving van came and took all our "stuff" and put it in storage in Watertown. And on July 7th we passed the papers and the keys to Frank and Renee Wang who will be the new neighbors of Sandra and James Wong, our neighbors for many years. Our good and longest known friends, Tom and Diane let us sleep in their guest room for several nights as we tied up the ends of our Lexington lives. And my longest known Massachusetts friend, Tricia, housed us our last night. I gave Tricia my lovely Night Blooming Cereus plant which strangely had produced two buds in the last weeks we were in the house. It never blooms this time of year, usually saving its exotic plate sized flowers for September - yet on July 7th from 8-12 pm two lovely blossoms opened in Hamilton, MA, their new home.
Friday, July 8th, mid-morning we headed to New York City and the first birthday celebration of our grand nephew, Ellison Philips-Chheda. Saturday we saw Jerusalem on Broadway with Jenny, Ellison's Mom and my niece. It was as awesome as the reviews and the Tony award winning lead, Mark Rylance, was amazing. We left New York City after the cupcakes were eaten and the presents were opened - about 3 pm. We are now in Fredericksburg, VA on our way south to Miami and a visit with my sister, Sally and her partner, Buzz. We are traveling South, then West, in my Subaru wagon with a Thule clam shell carrier - a 21st century version of the "covered wagon".
OBTW - as we travel, I am facilitating a 6 week online class for teachers learning about Web 2.0 and personal learning networks. It is an amazing group of motivated teachers. I'll let them in on my location status when the class is over. GTGT bed now.
