Peace and Quiet??

Wednesday morning: The contractors completed the door replacement late yesterday. Two days to do a job they said would be done in one. Still to come are the painters who need to finish the job. I was looking forward to a nice quiet morning, but then, the yard guys came, and they of course are making all sorts of noise. Our house is sitting on a fairly large, terraced property, so there must be at least half a dozen guys swarming around the place with mowers, blowers, trimmers, and whatever. Michael is still in her room, apparently asleep.

Thursday afternoon: No contractors at all today. The weather continues to be just OK. Not great, but not rainy either. And I guess it's a whole lot better than other places at this time of the year. Michael is getting her things sorted out and packed for her flight tomorrow morning. That’s got to be tough deciding what to take for the next four months. She’ll be flying to Rome, but through JFK where she meets the rest of the group that will be with her in Florence. She doesn’t seem too nervous about it, but my guess is there’ll be tears at the airport tomorrow. (OK, maybe only mine).
