Let me catch you up a little.  A lot has happened in the last month since I posted anything here.  The day after Christmas 2012, movers showed up.  Our house went from “home at Christmas” to “a collection of boxes where we used to live” in one day.  Then the next day it became “a big empty house where we used to live.”  We had been preparing for this day for months.  Now we start the next big Adventure with Andrea – Living in Scotland.  Goodbye to “The Woodlands.”  We’ll be back someday.

The two pictures below are the same corner of the house – 24 hours apart.  The only recognizable things left are the curtain and the mantle.
