April
A lot went on in April, actually. I crossed off another item from MY LIST, The
Barnes Foundation. They have some amazing
paintings, and a fabulous all around, though confusing, collection. They are also moving from their current
locations on Latches Lane to Center City.
Given that The List specifies the current location, and that the
Foundation was going to shut down the current Foundation in May to prepare for
the move I figure if I was gonna go see it then the time was now.
It was a rainy spring day, but that actually worked out well
because by the time I got to the garden the rain had stopped, but everything
was still dewy and gorgeous.
April was also a source of a lot of change and turmoil at work. The retail conversion was completed in Pennsylvania,
and my line of business was completely overhauled and reorganized. This also meant that I was told at the end of
the month that my position was being eliminated. Oddly enough, I wasn’t too upset by this
news. Although I had moved across the
country for this job, it certainly wasn’t a dream job, I was getting a generous
severance package, and I had a lot of opportunities that were perfect for the
next year or so of my life.
May
In May I ended up in the emergency room with what was
diagnosed as a kidney infection. This
seemingly small event would have big complications for the end of
2011/beginning of 2012.
June
In June the Calls and Cortney came to visit. We went everywhere and had a super fantastic
time that is waaaay to super fantastic to recount here. Suffice it to say that we hit like 9 states
and crossed a ton of stuff off The List.
Oh, also, I live here…
You can’t miss it, it’s the last one on the left, with the
gate…
