:: welcome home ::
:: we made it happen ::
Our huge move out of state!
It wasn't easy... and Southern California made sure, we would never forget her!
We packed the moving truck for 4 days straight; early morning till late into the night.
We were seeing triple-digit temperatures all the way through, as California was experiencing a "heat-wave".
We hit the road...
a moving truck, 2 vehicles, Hubby's Harley Davidson, my race bike, 2 windmills,
the family dog, and my parrot "mojo".
We drove 3 days / 1,500 + miles to get to Washington State.
We unloaded the truck that night,for the rental was due the following morning.
We have been non-stop unpacking box after box... trying to settle in.
We have been here a little over a week now.
Went to the DMV registered our vehicles and applied for our new driver licenses.
Got the phone line, cable TV, and internet installed just this weekend.
** Ive been warned about "Island time!" **
this will take some getting use to.
I got to spending a little time with my nature journal.
The weather is great... so I am enjoying the outdoors
in-between unpacking, settling in, and making this our "happy nest".
:: it is wonderful to be back, I missed you all ::
Glad you are safely in your new nest, even if there is still a lot of feathering to be done! It seems to be a beautiful place, have fun! Hugs, Valerie

It's good to see you back! You were missed. That heat wave must have made it so hard to get anything done. I can't even imagine trying to move during that. But now you don't have to worry about that. You can just settle in to your new home.
