And another chapter closes..
Unless I am about to be surprised by something, it looks like we have closed on our house. The new family will take possession next Tuesday. I'm spending today packing to go up there tomorrow.

Little Boys
I have loved these pictures ever since I saw them. I found them here. Notice the tiny sticharion and censor. When Ginger was little he was always holding services.
