The House that was


The deal in our house was that if MA started knitting again, I had to start writing again.  She was in town the other day, and asked Lorie, Darlin’ (our Garmin) how to get to the knitting store.  Her mojo is back and I will have a finished sweater by the time the weather will allow me to wear it.
The post following this one will be about our 2+ years in the wilderness - if I don’t write down that amazing timeline it will be lost forever.
This post is just to get Millstream 2.0 immortalized.  So to speak.
We moved in very early in June.  Last Thursday, we got the last box off the main floor.  We still have the basement to finish, but we are living here.
I walk the dogs on “The Park” usually twice a day.

They believe they have won the puppy lottery. It is incredibly restorative to walk by the creek and appreciate the countryside. The house lives very well.  Inspired by Caroline, we are having the family over for the first UK football game of the year on Sunday.  It’s a thrill to be here.

Stay tuned.  I think herself will keep knitting, and I need to keep writing.
