What did I expect?
As I may have mentioned, we are considering a "relocation". The goal is to position ourselves within a 1 day's drive of both of our kids' homes. Not too close--we don't want to scare them. Haha.
So they can move? Therefore, our relocation needs to be somewhere that we like for its own sake.
But first, we "Death Clean". Our local Goodwill Store is getting all the little stuff; the rest is going on Ebay. It is shocking what people will purchase on Ebay.
It will take "a minute", as people say, these days.
We have learned we are expecting our first Grandchild in May. Blessing.
So I am working on a Nap Quilt for her. We might be some of the most elderly 1st time grandparents on the planet.
Reading: I am shoveling my way through "Revolutionaries: A New History of the Invention of America". At first, I wondered, since we have lost the Republic, why make myself miserable by rubbing my nose in it??? But the book mainly relates the lives and qualifications of a handful of the principals of the Revolution and early Republic. Those men would be dead anyway, no matter what the state of our current situation. So it seems"elevating" to gain more insight on their experiences.
The book was published in 2010; the author is Jack Rakove, Professor at Stanford University. I wonder what he thinks of our current situation.
