#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Martha’s Vineyard, 3-4 years ago?

Frank home, and volunteers to drive Wave, who gets another A+ going out the door on time for school. I hear that it’s very very sweet time in that car, the two of them. The boy telling the man about how fast he can run. It’s so nice to have Papa home. Today is mostly about helping Franci move. The picture above is not a recent one; it was taken by Frank the summer of 2021, I think, on Martha’s Vineyard. I love this photo. It just appeared on his feed and he sent it to us yesterday. Franci loves it too. I helped her all afternoon. We had to clean all the furniture that has been in storage that she’s moving tomorrow and there was mold and we had to spray it and clean it outside in the freezing cold, but it wasn’t bad. Hard to believe she’ll be off tomorrow with Will. Sigh. And she’ll only be ten minutes or so away! I’m really excited for her––they have a nice townhouse they are moving into and she will have all the pleasure of making a new space with Will. Their own space. Yes, it’s a rental, and not the purchase they’ve been hoping for, but it’s a happy time. I must sleep to have energy tomorrow. I have been working on my new poem a bit today, the one I drafted last Sunday. It’s really going to be a whole new poem, I think.
