Yes, folks, we're moving back into the central time zone later today and will be new residents of the state of Wisconsin. Please think of and pray for our safe travels and - also important - retaining our sanity!
Nic and I are both very sad to be leaving this apartment. I will miss my garden, meager and modest as it is, the lawn where I sunbathe, beautiful Michigan skies that go on and on, Stuart Avenue in the fall with its multi-colored trees, Saturday night madness sale at my favorite thrift store and, of course, the crazy squirrels. Mostly I will really miss this quaint and cute apartment on the inside; the way it makes it feel like we live in an urban brownstone is inexplicable but wonderful.
And on that note... it has been strongly suggested to me that I do a series of "before" and "after" posts at the new apartment, to show the process of making a plain, complex-building space into a unique one. So as soon as I figure out the internet in the new apartment, I'll be getting to work on those.
Sitting here in the kitchen right now makes me remember one thing I won't miss - the dripping sink! :)
Anyway, in the meantime and before I write again, here are some photos (promised long ago) of Madison and the university, the new city home! Talk to you soon...

Praying you have a safe and lovely journey! We here in Michigan will miss you! I had no idea you were here!
Safe travels! Do you know that Madison is the San Francisco of the Midwest? Veeeerrrrryyyyy Liberal. Good luck!
I would say "here we go" ... but we came and went
...it was a pleasure helping you move. I just know you will soon adapt to that new little tree house.
I know those sentiments of missing a special place.
We got home about 1:30 a.m.
slept till 10.:00 this morning ...
Don estimated he and Nic did about 7,000 stair steps

Glad you are this side of 80/94!!!!
Hope you settle in well to your new home.
Those gardens should comfort any sadness over your sweet little apartment...WOW!!!! I would pitch a tent and never come in.
John- Yes, unfortunately I did know that, and have already somewhat experienced it. I'll have to reserve judgment on the issue for now (to save my sanity).
