So, I'm here but not from home, which is a strange feeling. I can't do anything about posting pictures because even though I have my camera, I don't have the wire and software to get pictures onto Mum's computer, and thence into cyberspace.
I had a lovely weekend being fed and allowed to sleep at Kate's house (Hi Kate! Hi Bob!) and managed to make a postcard a day while I was there. They need backs and photography, but they have been accomplished.
I attended a baby shower for a baby I could not be happier about. Really it could not happen to nicer, stronger, better adjusted people. I find it insanely difficult not to spew advice non-stop, so I spent a lot effort shutting up and letting others talk about what they remembered and how wonderful their babies were. They were all completely fabulous, of course. As were my own.
I'm with my mom now, for a couple of days, with the girls. Since we've all spent most of the last couple days traveling and because it is -18 F counting wind chill, we've been staying inside admiring the view out over the marshes instead of accomplishing anything that requires effort. We might have to venture out tonight to feed ourselves, but by then the wind should have moderated some. 30 knots with gusts much higher right now, thank you Very much. Plus it comes roaring in over the marshes and hits the house like a hammer. Fairly exciting. We'll be here another night or two, depending on the weather. Then home and the pursuit of boredom. It always helps to get the kids good and bored before making them go back to school. It makes school so much more enticing.
So - postcards when I hit home again, and probably not much else before then.
