Today I was floating in the pool, staring up in the sky, and there they were. Two hawks making lazy circles in the sky. No, really. It was like they were training for the Olympics. Synchronized flying. As I floated there in the pool, I thought, that’s kind of like us. David and I are just making lazy circles. We don’t really have a schedule to keep, except David has singing on Mondays, and reading on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Well, maybe some kind of a schedule but enough time to make some lazy circles.

It’s been a while since I have written here. I’ve been writing, but not here. Something I have been working on. More on that another time. A lot has happened and nothing has happened all at the same time. I am sure that you all understand that. We canceled our trip to Europe, but are still heading to New York next week. Would love to see people. We are very excited about staying at the High Line Hotel – down the street from our old W 20th Street apartment. I loved that apartment. I’ve loved almost every place we have lived. Now the house here seems to fit us like a glove.

Some pictures of the house, now that all the work is done. This is all the new front yard. The gigantic popsicle was David’s present for the holidays. A California artist, John Cerney, who paints these large, roadside signs had a grouping of popsicles here in Palm Springs. David loved them, so I contacted him and he agreed to create and install one for us. We love it. You can get more information about the artist here – John Cerney Murals

Thanks for reading. I want to put this to bed and then put my head on the pillow.
