The end of an era...

and the start of something new...

I have worked for the same company for 18 years now and have been in the same office for 16 years. This week we moved to a temporary location so that our offices could be gutted and completely redone. We have been in the same space for 82 years and infrastructure definitely needed to be updated.

I have become emotionally attached to some of my furniture and was fortunate to be able to bring it home.

I think that both pieces look like they belong in our sitting room. I'm happy to have a place to put some of my salt-glazed pottery.

This was my view of the changing seasons for the past 16 years:

The move was quite a project. I think we are almost settled in now and ready to jump in on Monday.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
