In the New Home

Marylee and I are visiting my son Raphael and his family in northern New Jersey. They moved a few miles to a new house a month before Sandy--and then promptly lost power for ten days when the hurricane hit (the microwave in the left background is still out of commission).

They are watching Max working on a possible illustrated book on Storybird.com--Raph's wife Shauna to the right of Max and Nate is leaning on his elbows. In the background is their large living room. You see just a corner of a 10-foot dining room table made from recycled barn boards by a small firm in Rhode Islands.
