Virginia visit

I spent last week in Virginia, enjoyed seeing my family. The drudgery was finishing emptying my house and organizing painters, landscaping, etc to put it up for sale. A big shout out to Christopher Ball, my son in law. He helped me all week, hiring a helper, driving the U-Haul, making deliveries to Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill, and the rest to his house for me to go through and winnow down. He dedicated much of his time last time to help me however I needed it. I am very grateful for his help. I lived there for almost 30 years so part of me is sad but mostly I’m very happy to be free of that burden. Another shout out goes to my daughter Kelly Ball, who also helped me in so many ways including driving my Honda to FL with a little U-Haul carrying my precious sewing table and other quilting gear down here.

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the play put on by the 5th and 6th graders at Ian’s school. Ian worked behind the scenes on the production. I enjoyed it very much.

Another one of the fun times was reading Bode some bedtime stories. Turns out Bode is a fan of Lowly Worm, one of Richard Scarry’s characters, as I am.
