Off We Go

January 20, 2018 at 7:15 am by Claudia

And here we go. Just as soon as the coffee kicks in, we’ll start packing everything up for the move to the city.

I’ll be there for a couple of days and will most likely head back home on Monday. Exciting chores await me, like chopping up the ice on the driveway after it’s had a chance to melt in our warmer temperatures. Whoo hoo. Seriously, though, that’s something I need to do ASAP.

There’s always a chance that I’ll wait until Tuesday, but Don will be in rehearsal all day Monday so I’ll probably head back. Time will tell.

And so it begins. There are mixed feelings, of course. Sadness that we’ll be apart more often than not. But excitement for the time ahead.

I’m not sure of the Wi Fi situation in the apartment. It will have Wi Fi, of course, but whether it will be set up yet remains to be seen. So, if you don’t hear from me, it’s because of that. Follow me on Instagram.

Last night’s sunset.

Happy Saturday.

    Have a safe trip to NYC. Hopefully some of that ice will melt in this warmer temperatures. We have a little ice in our driveway and it is melting.

    I hope the move in went well! Just checking in now as I was in Annapolis for the Women’s March. I contemplated going to DC, as I did last year, but decided to stay local at the last minute. A great day with perfect weather!

    Enjoy your time in NYC and setteling Don in the new apartment. A new adventure begins! I’m home and doing well. I’ll get to see the Grands on Sunday as Sara will bring them to visit me! I’m resting and taking it easy.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
