Hello all, happy (almost) fall! We\u2019re still in summer mode around here, although my kids are back at their universities now. The house was full all summer and now it\u2019s empty again. Sigh. It\u2019s cleaner, but a lot quieter.<\/p>\n

I did what a lot of empty nesters do, I started moving furniture around. I moved the sofa out of our study<\/a> and placed my desk under the window so I can work from home when needed. With winter coming, having the electric fireplace nearby will be cozy.<\/p>\n

The biggest news is\u2026. I switched law firms. I was offered a new opportunity at a firm specializing in property litigation, now all my clients are developers and contractors, which is where I wanted to land. I love architecture, renovation, and design, so having clients that work in that industry is exciting for me. I also work less hours in my new position, so my hope is to start blogging again. Not weekly, more like once or twice a month\u2026 but that\u2019s my goal. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

September holds a lot of excitement: my stepdaughter\u2019s wedding, a birthday trip to Hawaii, and a trip to London and Bath. On a whim, Matt and I decided to attend the Jane Austen Festival the second weekend of September, and we have Regency era attire to wear. People come from all over, the town will be dressed up, there are balls, parades, a theater production, and high tea, what fun it will be! I\u2019ll share a blog post on that event for sure.<\/p>\n
