Ooo! I miss you as well! I'm in a new band called Backseat Bourbon and we're playing tonight at the garage for open mic. It should be fun! I also think I have a new friend. He's REAL young, but knows what he wants in life and part of that seems to be me. I'm happy. Giddy even.
I wrote a song for him! I haven't done that in years! I hope skiing/falling lessons go much better than anticipated, and I will def be up to visit soon! Much love to you and Jim!

Hi Babu I'm doing great. I love Raleigh and my new job is awesome. I stay busy a lot but I need to be doing something constantly so I love it too! I miss you too and think and pray that you are enjoying your new home and neighborhood.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

#3 on top friends!!! Made my night hahahaha! I miss seeing you Barbara.
Maybe when it quiets down from Chel's wedding we can all get together? I would love that :-)

I am so glad to be a part of this team of teachers.
You are the best Bobu Lol

Thank you for your lovely message Barbara.

Real soon, I want to write about my experiences here in greater depth. But I have an early start tomorrow.

I love Somerville, and I have the most beautiful view of the sunset out my bedroom window. Sometimes that and a cup of tea is all I need.

Thanks for the Kahlil Gibran quote.

I hope your life is full of beautiful moments too.

Love,

Claire

Hi Barbara! Just stopping by to say hi :-) I'm really glad you will be in our classroom this summer a lot of the time but at the same time I am sad cause it will only be three days a week :-( hahaha talk to you later!

I send a HUUUUUUUUUGE hug right back at ya!! You are amazing Barbara, I am so so lucky and thankful to have you in my life. You bring peace in the middle of a storm<3 Words cannot even express how much I'm appreciative.
Hugs and Love always<3!

Thank you so much for the kudos for my poem:)! Just a burst of feeling and wisp of inspiration to contour a few thoughts:) always end up to be a splatter of words. But it's so liberating and refreshing. I love that we share the love of poetry:). I haven't gotten a chance to head up to Pilot Mountain yet:(. Yesterday was the planned day but some things came up and it made me so so sad. I'm praying for another sunny day so I can head up to that perfect spot you recommended. If the sun doesn't agree with me then I'll still have to visit the waterfalls and enjoy the fruits of hiking:), Daisy would love it as much as I. I'm in the process of finding a rock climbing instructor to give me my first few lessons at Pilot! I'm ecstatic and hoping that I can begin my climbing adventures this week:).Oooo that would be a fun idea for team building! I'm so glad you hiked already this week and that you're enjoying the amazing break! Enjoy the rest of your break and I wish you many hiking adventures this week to come! Hugs and love always:)! P.S.
I adore the new page layout and song!

Barbara!
How are you wonderful woman? I actually went to ABC yesterday for first aid, CPR stuff...it was surreal! I didn't recognize half the people there but it felt a bit like I was just there last week.

I miss you and hope you are well. We need to get coffee sometime when you have a moment.
My schedule is extremely flexible so let me know what might work for you and we'll do it!
