I hope--and, yes, pray--that the Skojecs are home. It sounds close to ideal. And Mount Mitchell is in striking range, which is one of my bucket list places to see.

And I share your worries about the near-future, but sufficient unto the day, as the man said.

Three things I love most in Raleigh, other than my family still there: Bojangles (best fried chicken chain ever), WCPE (best classical music station in the country), and Reader's Corner (used-book store on Hillsborough St.). If you are living where I think you might be living, there's an excellent Lebanese place nearby on Hwy. 54 (Neomonde Bakery).

So happy to hear you have landed in such a beautiful and welcoming place. My husband was just there for work last week and made the most of the reprieve from the desert heat exploring the nature preserve near his hotel. As always, praying you are blessed in your new home. Looking forward to what you will write about next!

What a beautiful house! Glad it's working out. Yes, something bad is probably about to happen re: the election. How could it not? But we can hope for a miracle (read: a free and fair election). Have a little extra on hand if there is any problems (rice, dry beans) and candles. But you already know this stuff. Join something to meet new people--like the go for PTA meetings, or something like that. Network, network. Good luck.

I told you that you would love it! My favorite Chinese restaurant in the world is somewhere on Six Forks Road. I can’t remember the name, but maybe you’ve already found it! I am very happy for you guys. Now get writing! LOL
