Windsong has been quiet this Autumntide, with me abiding in the lovely mountains of Virginia, where I had wondered if my aging folks might not be needing just a little more of my attention and assisting than the lovely families of Windsong. And, what a fun time assisting my folks I have had(!); trying to be an able first mate/co-captain for my 85-year-old dad on his bought-on-Ebay 32' sailboat, auction-going with my mama, lovely times at beautiful beaches...And, living with them in the house that my grandma and grandpa built so long ago, and has been a wonderful part of my childhood. This time has been wonderful! But, I am quite sure that my folks can do well enough without me still, and, tho' we shall miss each other so much, I am happily returning to Portland via a wintery cross country whirlwind roadtrip just after the New Year.
We have a few children already enrolled in our programs for January, but we so hope there will be more children looking for a sweet little preschool in the midst of the year...!?
In the meanwhile, a happy Advent-tide to all! I am loving having Advent with my folks this year...They have been so inspiring in my love of celebrating the seasons...! (Why, my mama just had cataract surgery in the morning on friday, and was making springerle with me by nightfall!)
