Changes

We've had some changes recently around the house.

The boys are both away at boarding school.

There's lots that goes with that simple sentence. In fact, it's all so complex and brings out so many emotions and consequences it's kind of too big for me to really get a handle on at the moment. I'm trying.

The biggest is that they don't live here anymore. I guess they will always call our house "home", even though they technically don't live here. And this is just the beginning as in a few years they will be off to college and really on their way. And maybe, just maybe, they might just come home for a bit after that?

In the meantime their room is empty of life. Not empty empty. There are still clothes and all their personal "stuff" from their years of living so far. In fact, their room is quite a mess - not including the enormous blue paint stain on the white rug as you enter the room.

Swiss Artist: Ursus Werhli

I love this artist - so simple - so Swiss. Take a look at the NPR link to see more.

This other Swiss blog - Newly Swissed - also has an entry about him as well.

And here is his official site.

I want to order his new book....

Cool stuff

Check out these sites for some cool stuff:

Fab.com - cool concept, awful shipping - weeks and weeks. nothing comes fast. but, hey, some things are worth waiting for.

Hu2.com - just discoverd site out of the UK. the Mickey House is my favorite.

Tattly - for temporary tatoos - these are AWESOME!!
