Last weekend we finalized the sale of our beloved house, 227 Islington Road in Newton, Massachusetts, where we have lived for 43 years and raised all three of our children. We miss our old neighborhood and our wonderful friends of so many years. But we love our new home in North Carolina and being near family. A bittersweet passage!
Bruce and I wish you a healthy, sane 2021!
