Summertime

is full of travel and transitions, all of us in and out of the house.  When I came back from Brownsville birding birthday trip with Bob it felt really good to walk into the house as it is now, multigenrational family home with mixture of belongings, toys, art.  The spirit of the house is good, and it is in much better repair than I could keep it back when i was here mostly by myself while Bob was teaching in Corpus. Tonight Bob made a simple pasta supper and I didn't have to do a thing but sit at the table and eat and talk to Ruth and Liam about their great weekend at the beach.  It doesn't get much better than that.
