Wicked Weather

January 21, 2008

Two weeks down, many more to come. We continue to settle in – learning new routines and behaviors. Finding out what works and what does not. Sometimes we are weary. Sometimes we are giddy. I would rate the experience so far “as better than expected.” It ain’t perfect, but, hey, it is going OK. If I had to compare it to the weather, I would call it balmy. Not bad, but should be improving.

So speaking of the weather – those of you from around here know that weather in Alabama can change in an instant. So in our two weeks home, we have huddled in the bathroom because of imminent tornadoes and we had made a milk and bread run to the store because snow was in the forecast. Talk about variation! I would rate the moods under the roof to have been variable, but not quite as bad as the literal weather. We are learning to notice the signs of oncoming storms and also what leads to sunny days.

until later....
