Currently just departed from: New Jersey. We were in NJ from July 1-17, with a few brief side trips, like for the high points and HCA reunion. Once again, it was great to visit with so many friends and family, celebrate birthdays, see our niece’s first play and just enjoy everyone’s company. Current plan: this deserves…
Currently spending time with/where: We are down to the wire with our time in Danville. We close on the house today in less than 3 hours!!! Current plan: Wouldn’t you like to know??? Better yet, wouldn’t we like to know? Current mood: Bittersweet about saying goodbye to our house and our friends in Danville one more time.…
Currently spending time with/where: I added this “currently” label because we bounce around so much! This past week/weekend, I took a break from Danville and spent time in dirty Jersey visiting family and friends (won’t hit everyone this time around … next time!). I mostly have been having some summer fun with the niece &…
Current mood: missing New Zealand. Seriously, it is SO disappointing to be “back to life, back to reality.” It doesn’t help that everyday I do a little organizing/labeling/editing of our 1,000+ pictures and am instantly transported back to some point during our 5-month adventure. I find myself day dreaming and night dreaming of New Zealand. …
Current mood: a bit frantic, but I believe we got everything done on our to do list. All systems are checked, the bags are finally packed (see pix below – all of that fit in 2 backpacks!) and we are on a flight to San Francisco today and a flight to Auckland, NZ Saturday! Ready…
Current mood: Excited! Anxious! Overwhelmed! NZ trip planning brings out a range of emotions! Currently thankful for: Carving out some quality time with J’s side of the family here in CO. We have 2 young nephews on this side of the family and they are growing fast! Currently worried about: Well, besides the fact that…
I skipped August, so this will be a catch-up edition! Current mood: at peace Currently thankful for: a character-building summer with one of the most beautiful backyards we will probably ever have photo credit: Erika Eve Plummer – one of our favorite guests from July Currently worried about: my family’s health (father and Nana, in…
Current mood: Tired. We had a long, busy weekend Currently thankful for: Google Translate. We have had several guests from foreign countries who don’t speak good English. How do you say “tipi” in French? Currently worried about: Our future Currently excited about: Our future and our new baby niece or nephew to be born any…
Current mood: Slowly getting in a groove here Currently thankful for: J making it off Mount Hood safely, especially after the news that 6 climbers died on Rainier this week! Currently worried about: 1) Succeeding as a waitress this summer and 2) flooding our kitchen with our dishwasher (happened again Saturday night during dinner service, but…
Current mood: surprisingly content, with all that is going on Currently thankful for: Snail Mail Netflix DVD mail service, since we can no longer stream video! Currently worried about: Hmmm, where to start? My Nana is still not healed from a fall she took in December and even though she is back back home, we’ve…
We’ve been on the road since Feb. 24, but we will be completing the final leg today to settle in Oregon for the next 7 months! Before we do, I figured I’d squeeze in a last-minute March edition of “Currently.” I enjoyed sharing “Currently” last month and maybe I will make it a regular part…
I came across a “Currently” blog post from this Colorado blogger and I loved the idea. Apparently, this is not new to the blogging scene, but once again, I live under a rock when it comes to these things. So here goes my own version of “Currently.” Currently thankful for: being on blood thinners for…
