FROM THE INTERIOR: BITTERSWEET MOMENTS – THE BERLINERS MOVE ON

Today is a bittersweet day….my adventures with the Berliners are on hiatus, as they head up north.  We had a great month together, with lots of laughs.

To help me adjust to the silence in my home, I have moved back into my reconfigured office space, above—minus the large bookcase that jutted out before—and I have much more room for my current projects.

Here is another view of the changes:

 

 

As I sort through some photos from the Berliners’ LA experiences, I grab some of my favorites, taken at my second son’s apartment in Hollywood.  Here is Gabi against an LA backdrop:

What’s next for me?  Well, I must catch up on my reading and blogging, watch some Netflix, and think about how much fun we will have when they return in September.

Meanwhile, they are headed to Sacramento…and then the Northern Coast, where my youngest son and his wife live.  Fiona will be attending college there, so while she waits to begin, she is exploring the cooler weather and the beach life.

Today I plan to start reading Some Luck, by Jane Smiley.

I am also excited that I downloaded a NetGalley review book I’ve been anticipating:  X (Kinsey Millhone Book 24), by Sue Grafton.

What does your world look like this week?
