ch ch ch CHANGES!

or...long time, no art

We knew it was going to happen, but WOW! were we unprepared for the joy of this day!

Wait, let's back up. At the end of June this year, Kevin and I traveled to Delaware (Dela-where??) for walkabouts and interviews, as some folks seemed to think that he would make a good Bishop. Amid a host of excellent candidates, my thoughts were mixed - the honor and the challenge would be wonderful, but why leave our friends and fabulous church in Charlotte? Then in July...he was elected! Good grief, this was really happening! August...we brought the kids to Wilmington to see our new house, "Bishopstead,"  (complete with koi pond and elevator!) September... we fixed up the house to sell and began to pack. October...moving time plus one last trip together to Montreal before Kevin started work in November. 

And in the midst of all this change, I was packing and moving and now unpacking and reorganizing my studio. It became an unplanned sabbatical from my artwork as I focused on making the transition easier on Kevin, Margaret and Emily. Not to mention Lola, sweet old schnauzer, who can't see or hear very well these days. I'm trying to be patient, and I truly am thankful for all the blessings of this new adventure.

So here we are in December and I find myself married to the Bishop of Delaware and celebrating Christmas in a new home. Wow.

​ The consecration weekend was snowy, beautiful, dramatic, full of friends and family, sacred, humbling, musical, and oh so special.
