Brief update; we had originally planned to go home today, but have extended the familycare visit to Tuesday. Continued thanks to Jed for extending his visit to watch our kids — they’re old enough to be left alone for a night (which we’ve done once), but we’re just not comfortable leaving them alone for longer yet. This would all have been much more complicated without Jed’s help.
If you’re waiting on something from me, please continue to be patient; I occasionally have stretches where I can do some work, but much of my time and attention is committed elsewhere right now. Thanks.
(I don’t know what this vine / shrub is, but it’s very pretty; we’re probably going to retire in the Midwest, but the other option might be the Bay Area, in which case, I would like to have this in my garden. Assuming it’s not some terrible invasive, and that we can actually afford a place with a bit of garden…)
