First Entry

In the latest of many failed attempts to create a record of our joint existence, we are starting a blog. A few notes, a few pictures . . . that will get us started.

It is an (almost) empty nest. The Campbells have decamped to Philadelphia but the Howingtons--Ben & Annie--have temporarily relocated from Brooklyn to our basement so their little Lila can be treated at Duke Medical Center.

Upstairs, things are in an uproar. The kitchen is undergoing a facelift. We hope to be done by the end of this week, but who knows?



In recent weeks, John was in the west--Sun Valley for a fundraiser, Salt Lake for Kirt's & Emily's sealing, Seattle for a few days with the Monroe clan and Canby for a few days of chores and horseback riding with the Taggarts & Mikkelsons. It was lots of fun and very relaxing. Now he is back home, trying to save Western Civilization from financial ruin.
