We have some startling news. After living in the same house in Newton, Massachusetts for 43 years, where we have so many beloved friends, we have moved to North Carolina. All three of our adult children, and their families, now live in the South, and we were lonely for them. So this fall we made the bittersweet decision, quite abruptly, to move near Chapel Hill, where our daughter Kate lives with her family, including our 15-year-old granddaughter Lila — shown here last night blowing out the Advent candles at our new house. We look forward to visiting our dear friends in Massachusetts as soon as traveling is easier.
