we only have 15 days left on the island.
we can't believe it. its stressful and exciting and hard and fun and we are actually making some progress in getting out of here. Case in point: our little mantle. the mantle has made a few appearances on the blog now and since it seems to be a tiny part of our family, i thought our lovely readers might like to see how the old girl is doing.
the photos have been packed up and any big vases given or thrown away. since we have no more furniture or any flat surface to put things on, we are using it as a catch all for all of the little stuff. cell phones, remote controls, i think there are some checks up there (yay), and other loose items.
the two candles are all we have left in the house. i've been burning those like a crazy person since we decided to move. (isn't it funny how everyone loves candles but never uses them? ... there are other things like that-- you wouldn't believe how much bubble bath i have. well, im using up everything i thought i'd save for a rainy day and its pretty fun).
and there are flowers like always. there will be flowers from our yard until the last day i'm sure. Not being able to grow flowers year round is an adjustment i'm going to make with the move... but for now (and the past 5 yrs) im taking advantage of my gardening and the hawaii climate.
and in case your wondering, below the mantle, from left to right: redsox schedule, mom and daughter, naia, and naia =)
i have a feeling that the mantle will make one more appearance on the blog. that might be a little sad...and naked

It is a relief to know that though vases and flat surfaces have been thrown or given away and sold, you have managed to keep space for Celtics tattoos.
That's why we love you Gibsons. You've got a clear eye on the important things in life.
We love you, and as The Flemings have been known to say from time to time, "Have you left yet?"
Ypou will have other mantles in your future, but you'll never forget this one!
