\t\t\t\t\t\t I can feel things winidng down today.. were back from our big trip, th halloween party is over, Max is back at school and I’m transitioning to my new role at work.. All the big planned stuff is behind us for a while.. It’s time for us to quiet down and just ‘be’ for the month ahead. I’m both looking forward to.. and a little nervous about the quiet times over the next several weeks. I know I need them..   Before I settle completely, I still have some pictures from yesterday which I wanted to share.. We woke up yesterday with at least twelve kids sleeping in the house..   We’d done some cleanup after the party.. so the house was pretty tolerable.. Kids started waking up at 9 there was a steady stream of sleepy looking college types drifiting in for coffee and donoughts which had been graciously provided by Jessie’s mom Joan.

The art kids amused us by dodling. Chris did soem amazing cartoons including this very cool rhino with a toothache. It’s amazing to watch him work !<\/p>\n

Victor came over to hel us clean up the rest of the house  !. Many hands made light work for us
<\/p>\n

After cleaning there was one small strip of streamers stuck about 30 feet off the ground in the front entrance way. Gabe vowed to find a way to get it down. He climbed up in the tower and lowered a stick on a string to knck it loose.. It worked.. Looked how high up that tower floor grate is.. Eeek !<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had a little bit of famly time before Max had to leave.. We did some sharing of what we wanted to do as a family as the anniversary of Sam’s passing comes up. It’s good for us to all be together when we can.
<\/p>\n

Around 2:30  I drove Aaron and Max down to Rutland to catch the 5:15 train to NYC. Nice quite drive with beautiful sun (and beautiful on. )

..I actually love long good byes<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

THe rest of yesterday was pretty uneventful. We were all in bed at 9 afer watching “Plan 9 from Outer Space” one of the worst\/best  B movies ever made.. It’s by Ed Wood and was released the year I was born. If you’re interested.. You can watch the whole thing here<\/a>.  It’s too bizzare to miss !<\/p>\n

Today passed  very uneventfully. I was struggling to keep focused and engaged all day. I can’t remember ever <\/span>having this much problem motivating.. But It doesn’t seem to b bothering me much. It’s a strange feeling for me.   <\/p>\n

Tonight was nice.. I got home in time to take Diane’s yoga class.. then the three of us went up for a small birthday party for Deb T.  It was really nice.. gret food, great company.. They’s made this cool ‘Sam’ pumpkin<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

We had a great meal then snag ‘Happy Birthday’ to Deb. She’s such a great person. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And that dear friends was my entire day.. Not much to it, I know.. Hope all is well with all of you.. you too Sam.. <\/p>\n

Love<\/p>\n
