We had weird weather before christmas. Instead of a blizzard we had rain and wind …and a power outage. We sang christmas carols around the lantern.christmas time 2012 038christmas time 2012 039christmas time 2012 040christmas time 2012 041

end of summer already????

This has been a busy summer and , of course, it has flown by.

I bought a house in June during my week vacation

July vacation Jessica and brood came up to Maine. Fun at camp and Amanda’s pool.

Closed on my new house on August 7 and have been moving things ever since

August vacation I went to Long Island with Amy and Jessica and the grandkids. We had a great reunion of sorts. Denis flew in from California and all the NY-NJ clan gathered in Sound Beach. The cousins (3rd generation) had a great time. 4 out of 12 were girls and average age was 5 so you can imagine the activity. I ended my vaca with a visit with my childhood friend, Joan. She happens to have a lovely summer home in Bridgehampton-a far cry from Miller Place. We enjoyed sharing stories and we were 16 again…Great time!!!

September has been more moving, sending our 3    5 yr olds to kindergarten. Milestones each day!

I have been honing my skills. Mowing the lawn, drilling holes in the wall and discovering the joy of the transfer station. Life is good.summer 2012 036summer 2012 115summer 2012 055summer 2012 223summer 2012 357

staging- step 1

I had to get my house ready to take a few pictures for the real estate book. The house looks great. Its just that I can’t find where I threw everything.

A glimpse of what I’ve been doing…

I had vacation in June and bought a house and now I have the gargantuan task of packing up. Jess and the kids were up last week so we had a memory filled week at camp and Amanda’s pool. Fun, fun.
