Big Moves

While I am at the beach for my final night of teaching here this summer, Carter is at her Boston Apartment for her last night on Beacon Hill.

I have had a great summer teaching on the coast, five times in the Morehead/Atlantic Beach/Beaufort area. Twice in the Wilmington area, once in New Bern. I know it’s only July 24, but soon I’m off on other adventures. I am ever grateful to all my hostesses who make coming to the coast so fun. This trip I am with the sweet Kristi Blizard. She organized a fun girls dinner with Ashley, Sarah, Susan and Terry. Thanks to these dear Mah Jongg friends.

Carter is in Boston preparing to make her first move without any parental unit help. She has lived on Mt. Vernon St. in Beacon Hill for over two years now in her darling fifth floor walk up apartment. It was a fabulous place, on the best street, if you ignored the steps.

Now she is moving further from the capital, which sits one block from her apartment, out to Dorchester to move into a two bedroom with Claire and Norman. It is a big move to a building with conveniences she is most excited about, like central air, a trash room, assigned indoor garage parking and more space, but mostly Claire and a great dog.

This will be the first move she has made all on her own. She booked the movers and sold half her furniture, donated old clothes, packed up her plants and is ready to go.

I am so thankful she is not moving on August 30 as the whole city of Boston moves that night and is homeless with all their belongings for a night awaiting September 1 rentals.

I can’t wait to visit Carter and Claire in their new place in August. We will miss Beacon Hill, but we love Claire so it is a wonderful move.

Good luck with the move. This is big time adulting now.
