so weird to think I’m winding down this chapter. Probably just a few posts left before I do. Definitely a self imposed bookend but I threw down the gauntlet to myself and the kids a while ago. Wrap it up by the end of summer when Jules goes off to college. Not that it triggered any response from the orange pieces, but, for me at least, I appreciated having a natural culmination point. Just a handful of days before we head out. minivan is rented. hotel is booked. Tuition is paid. (Thank you Dad and Irene!)
final dinner locked and loaded – where else but Little Alley?
