i promise i’ll write more about my trip as the days pass. it’s hard to put the trip into words–but i thinki’m just using that as an excuse right now.
i got to spend time this weekend with my mom and my aunt and uncle. since my aunt and uncle are moving out of their huge old house into a very large, but still much smaller than the house, RV, they were having a big yard sale. i think what they’re doing is so cool–travelling around the country, seeing all there is to see, taking their time exploring. they’ve spent the past five or six years planning to do this and it’s finally happening for them in three weeks. and, i’m hoping to fly out somewhere in the west to visit them next year. wyoming, perhaps? utah? so many options. (it’s all about me, of course).
because i’m the relative that lives the closest and has a house, i am the beneficiary of much of their generosity. they brought me back to the city on saturday evening with a pickup truck and a car full of stuff. some things that were my great-grandparents, which somehow feel right at home in my place. some things i’m just babysitting until they return, or until lara moves back east or decides she wants them. i’m thoroughly enjoying them right now though!

I think Utah sounds cool, too. Think we could all fit in the RV?
