June 23 – Longest day of year. Notice has been given at work. Movers set up. Diana has arranged her schedule to help us drive across the country. We wait.
June 24 – Bride and groom-to-be will buy. Contract signed. Everyone (including Daisy) exhales.
Our new possible location is Harper’s Ferry W. Va. It’s a one-hour train ride to Rockville (federal building) and is a gorgeous historic town overlooking the convergence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers. Sunday I will visit with Eliza and look at some homes. The house prices and taxes are AMAZINGLY low. I’m picturing long walks, canoe rides on the river, quaint shops and no Starbucks (sigh).
So many months have passed since we imagined ourselves back east, and now it’s beginning to be real.
