Week two. Things are going well. I absolutely love everyone I’ve met at Providence, and am excited about the challenges ahead and the things they want me to take on. One thing that has surprised me is how keenly I feel the absence of Nana and Ba these days. Even Grammy. Driving down 95 I pass Walpole, and then pass the old Children’s Museum that I vividly remember visiting with Hils & Nana & Ba when we were little. They are so much a part of my days, in a weird way – and I wish they could know that in some small way I’m a Providence girl now. I guess I have to believe that they do.
Don’t have any actual reports … burned a CD for the first time on this mac (I LOVE this mac!) and have been listening to that in the car. Excellent stuff. Next frontier: setting up the ipod in the car.
The daffodils above are to celebrate the near arrival of spring – you can tell it’s over the horizon though I realize it could be another month! And daffies always remind me of Lisa, so they’re for her.
Entering the season of birthdays – for some reason so many people in my life have March, April, and May birthdays. Hannah turns one this weekend, which seems extraordinary to me – I honestly feel as though it was last week that Hils was in endless early labor and then that Gracie and I made our big field trip down to visit.
