Ch ch changing...

The door opens into this, their new home.  Wood floors in every direction, tall ceilings with Victorian molding, the giggles of a little girl coming across what is now her new room.  Her skirt flows out as she twirls.  

My brother who has been away for a while (over 5 years) has just moved close to me again.  To celebrate this new change we had a day in the sun with food and oh, too many people!

Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!  ~Albert Einstein

  1. Oh! How exciting to be close to your brother again. Family is everything. I could never leave mine for any amount of money in the world : ) Sometimes I think they would be happy if I left : ) but I can not!
