Everywhere I look it’s a construction site. Works in progress. Building, re-building, replacing…. Improving. Concrete and wood are my terra firma these days as I fix up my current home for selling and watch the progress of renovating the new home. In both places I bask in the stark beauty of newly painted walls, the smell of fresh-cut pine trim, and the echo of empty space. Seeing the concrete that will soon be hidden away under carpets and flooring is comforting. There’s something grounding about being in the middle of the bare bones of a place, when it’s devoid of all the furnishings and stuff of daily living.

Love it Robin I think of you daily praying it gets a little easier for you everyday miss her too I tell people often of Marika ans the little girl I was a nanny too
Hi Deb. I hope you are having a great Christmas. And happy new year. Thank you for being a part of Marika’s wonderful but short life. Yow, the things we all went through. When I get settled in my new home, maybe you can visit me and see all the pictures I’m going to hang of her on my walls. Keep well and cozy.
Robin, it’s good you have come so far in your journey towards a new place to live. The materials are indeed reassuring. Love, Lucy
Thank you for your encouraging words, Lucy, and for the beautiful updates about your family. I’m wishing you and yours an amazing New Year. Cheers!
