By the end of the summer, we’ll be in Seattle.  3000ish miles away from what we now call home.  Big changes, Iz will start at a new school, we’ll start new jobs and eventually move into a new home.  I’ll miss New England.  It’s held a fond place in my heart for as long as I can remember.  I’m excited to catch up with old friends and see more of family.  We’ve lived in Seattle before Iz was born, and it’s a beautiful city with lots to do and people and family to visit.  It’s a good thing.

This will be my third trip across the country.  Late 1996, we moved to Seattle from NYC.  Then in 2001, we moved back to NYC, we took two weeks and visited so many wonderful places.  This time, Iz and I will probably take the train to travel to the other coast.  I’ve started gathering projects and ideas for things to keep us creative on our trip as well as research our connecting cities to see what to do when we spend the night.

We’re busy purging, packing and painting. Iz talks about the blue house (?) we’re going to live in, and I just keep going on my walks to soak up as much of New England as I possibly can.

ps – LuckyStitches is moving with me.  While I’ll miss my Western MA LuckyStitchers something terrible…I’m excited to see how my little sewing lounge will evolve with the move.  I’ll keep you all posted.  xxoo
