It doesn’t seem possible that we’ve been in our new house for two weeks already! It’s so very exciting! A funny thing happened this weekend. (I feel like I should start this out with “You know you live in the country when…”) I had done a load of laundry and I hung it out on the patio to dry. I brought the rack in the house before we went out to do a couple errands. When we got home, I was hearing this really, really loud cricket noise. Went downstairs and, sure enough, one had planted itself in the clothes! We put them back out and the little guy found his way back into the woods with his buddies!

Yesterday was a great day! Our friends from our first house, Jack (he works at MIT, too!) and Marie came over for a cookout. They are just the sweetest people! They brought a beautiful plant for our front stairs. It’s a funny thing – they actually have a daughter that is one year older than I am but we get along like we we’re all the same age. I tease that Brian’s the son they never had! They’ll actually be married for 43 years on Wednesday! Amazing!

It’s a gloomy, dark morning here today. It’s tough to get motivated but I guess I don’t have much of a choice!
