New York City has a new resident! My sister and her handsome (especially in a dashing purple scarf crocheted by mom) lab mix are living in Brooklyn! She is SO happy and that of course makes us happy. We loaded up her belongings into a yellow Penske truck and caravanned up to Brooklyn as a family. C and I were a whole mix of darting emotions as we ventured back to our summer home, where Sweet City Love began.
A few things dashing through our minds:
- "We're BACK!!!"
- "Oh my gosh, we're back - ruuuuun!"
- "Let's show everyone our favorite places!"
- "We could definitely live here!"
- "Is that a poop on the sidewalk?"
- "Is that man wearing pants?"
- "We could never live here..."
Clearly we are a tad confused. A lot of decisions will be made in the next several weeks about our future move. If New York calls to us again, we have a better idea of where we would want to live and where we would not. We know what it would take to make us feel comfortable and homey and what would make us weak in the knees (midtown, ahh!).
Having my sister living in our potential new home does sweeten the pot quite a bit. Things don't seem as uneasy when you have family right near by. Especially family like her - caring, kind, funny, terrible with directions (like moi) and city savvy from the moment she arrived. She is so brave to begin this new journey and who knows, maybe we'll be alongside her in a few short months (cue gasp, sigh and smile/cry)....
