A website for friends and family
I have finished the Photography section of this website, including its child pages. I will periodically update the recent pictures, but otherwise most of the section is static.
I do have a backlog of photographs from years past that I should process and upload, but right now I will be focusing on the house.
I am working on filling in the static sections of the Gould Home website. I took the opportunity of Beth’s visit to get new headshots for the whole family, which have been added to the to the About Us page. And just to get a sense of how we have aged (gracefully, I hope), I created a Gould Family Pictures page in the Photography section which links a lot of family pictures from years past.
I have also moved over the Travel Journal index from the old website. And I have started to fill in the rest of the Photography section with two more child pages to go.
Beth was home for just under two weeks. But her passport with its new visa has been mailed back from the consulate, so Beth is hopping on a plane to return to St. Petersburg, just in time for classes to start at ITMO University.
It was nice seeing Beth in person for change. While she was in town, she got the change to chat with friends and Zoom with the family in Kansas City. Beth was also able to go through all her belongings, since she may not get another chance before we move to the new house. Although the main goal of the visit was to get a new visa, Beth was also able to pick up the mail order packages that we had been storing for her (delivery to Russia is unreliable at best).
That said, it will be good to get my home office and favorite reading and napping spot back.
On August 30th, it finally happened. We have purchased a property on the Sudbury River in Concord, MA. Included in the sale is an acre of wetlands that we are not allowed to touch, an existing house which is in disrepair and unhealthy to live in, a small patch of grass (which I now need to mow) and a small area of land between setbacks and no-build zones where we attempt to build a new house.
I plan on adding a page to this website with details of the process as we go through it. In the meantime, admire this view, which in a couple of years will be what we see every day.
After an 18 year absence, we have decided to reestablish a web presence for the Gould family at www.gouldhome.com. I have decided to use WordPress and go for a simple template for now. We are not trying to sell you anything. Instead, this is just a way of keeping friends and family updated with goings on.
Our old web site is still online at old.gouldhome.com. That said, I will be linking some of the more interesting and timeless material from this new site.
It may take me a couple of weeks to get everything set up on the new site, so be patient.
