Kentucky Nook of the Woods

So Here

 
...in Kentucky since Father's Day Sunday with my daughter , Sophie  , two kittens ,Eddie and his daughter in tow .
 
He brought along  his youngest daughter  to help us move out of our Massachusetts rental home .
She's a sweetie , and boy can she clean and help pack.
 
 We stopped off in Ohio to see our  friends and went with their family  to King's Island amusement park by Cincy .
Steff got two kittens along the way at the  friend's house and is tending to them at the other house.  
 
Currently I'm being shuttled  between two houses ( they are one mile apart)and  doing stuff  in each .
 
I am adjusting to having  a teen and two younger kids around me on a regular basis .
 
It takes a lot of energy, but  they are really great  kids , so it's all good.
 
A  lifestyle with more people in it  is going to take some time  to get use to as Steff and I have been basically alone since we left my parents in Texas  nearly two years ago.
 
Eddie and his family are very helpful and friendly people , and that makes this transition  so much easier.
 
Some days I wake up and can't believe  how life has changed   over the past few years.
 My life has taken so many twists and turns ,  yet I am still standing and  am very happy to boot  .

Local Flayvor

On one of our last raw milk runs here in Massachusetts before moving,  we ran into this  local specialty :
 
asparagus ice cream sign
Yup,you read that correctly.
  
We each took a bite and decided  that while it would never  be a personal frontrunner favorite  like say sweet cream, dulce y leche ,chocolate brownie ,hazelnut , blood orange or  passionfruit sorbet ...it was not as gacky as one would suspect.
 
It was spicy/nutty/chunky , however, fitting it into our ice cream repertoire was not something  either of us had an inclination  to run out and do.
 
Being the culinary adventurers that we are  , we had to at least give it a try .
  This  dairy confection  is not a contender for my apres  dinner delights , and shall remain in the realm of been there, done that  and just leave the t-shirt  on the rack cause clingy cotton 's not my thang.

Tattered Tulips

Gave notice to our landlord last week .
 
Everything is slowly starting to fall into place  , with a bit of persistence  on both ends of this move .
 
Boxes are being filled , calls being made  and  loose ends tied together.
 
While the last of  the tulips are  swaying in the breeze looking a bit worse for wear  ,  we endeavor to pack up our lives  yet another time.
 
 This time the move is instigated  by my intense desire to be with a man who is in every way imaginable my partner .
 
Feeling this amount of joy  about my  present and future is something I never  expected .
 
This is exactly where I am suppose to be going  at this point in my life.
 
Ihave no doubts .
 
 
And think not you can
Direct the course of love,
For love,
If it finds you worthy,
Directs your course.

Excitement, work ,anticipation and joy are all bundled into one  package of  let's just  " git 'er dun ".
 
 
Our grand New England adventure now  winds down to it's last weeks.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

ky, oh 106

 

I spent nearly three weeks with Eddie  in  Kentucky from the beginning of April until a few days ago  .

Life was good no matter what endeavors we undertook together .

We just work .Period.It's all good.

As we said our goodbyes the other afternoon  , and I went to stand in the security queue, I vowed that would be the last time I would ever  walk away from him again .

Living  seperate  lives  is  quite the challenge , hence, the moving date has moved up again  from the original fall time frame  .
