I'm sure regular readers are tired of my move to the cottage, so this is the last of my reports, and is mostly a visual one.
When I walked into the newly furnished
cottage Sat. night, it was pristine and spare. Clean surfaces, a desk without
much on it. Today it looks a lot different—it looks lived in. My desk is messy,
though I’ve worked all day to make sense out of the mess. The rest of the
cottage looks lived in. As neighbor Jay said last night, “It looks like you’ve
lived here forever.”

This was to be my hideaway, my
solitary retreat. I have yet to spend a night alone. I mentioned the three
grandchildren the first night. Jacob spent the night last night and seems set
to do so again tonight. It’s all good.

zoning forbids two kitchens on one property
so we're calling this the bar
I cannot have a stove but I can have
anything that plugs in--hot plate, electric skillet,
toaster oven, Keurig. It'll do.

Pretty high cotton, don't you think?
