I spent all week getting my daughter prepared to maneuver to the east coast for faculty. Yesterday we drove her to the airport, to fly in early and Matt will comply with just a few days later to get her settled in. I’m visiting in October to deliver heat climate garments. It was a very onerous day. She’s occupied the identical bed room for 18+ years since I introduced her residence from the hospital so it’s unhappy seeing it empty. She can be again for the vacations and subsequent summer season, and I’m actually excited for this new season of her life, but it surely’s an emotional adjustment for positive!

Now that we’ve got half an empty nest, it opens up my schedule a bit of extra. I began an eight week ceramics class at an area pottery studio and I find it irresistible. We’re studying to construct with slabs utilizing templates and molds, it’s so enjoyable! After this class I’ll learn to use the wheel and I can see ceramics being a brand new inventive outlet for me. If I really feel expert sufficient, maybe I’ll promote on Etsy sooner or later, who is aware of!
