Like I said yesterday, we are in Iowa City to watch the Iowa Women’s Basketball team play two games, which is a pretty cool thing.
We are also down here to drop off our daughter at Iowa.
Right now, we are at my wife’s aunt’s house, watching a game with the volume completely down.

Our trips to Sharon and Charlie’s house is always a unique experience. Next to my parents’ house, I’ve never experienced a place where life just seems to slow down. The rush around of everyday life just seems to evaporate, if only for a day. The whole neighborhood seems to be in this bubble, where time almost (yes, almost) seems to disappear.
They are a bit quirky, as we all are, in how they do certain things, but it’s almost a vacation, because they insist that we don’t do dishes, we don’t cook, that we are just here!
Eventually, this space will disappear and time will find its way back into this little cove. But until that happens, we’ll say a little thank you as we travel north back to real life!

Thanks for sharing. Places like that where you can just be are so important. I’m glad you’re able to notice and enjoy yours.

And I’ve grown to appreciate this (and my parent’s house) because they won’t be here forever. My only hope, that we can create this for our own kids! 🙂

Almost always cheering fr a is 10 win! And would like to be somewhere for a little while where time slowed down.

Sounds like a great place to visit. I love the feeling of slowing down and counting on it.

It’s like slipping off that “teacher hat” and putting on something much more comfortable. It’s hard to come back today! 🙂
