Movin' anybody?
Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes and support. We've landed in southern California smack in the middle of the high desert and are just getting settled (whew). Trav really likes his job and Petey and I are still adjusting to having to drive an hour to get to the nearest Walmart, Target - heck, anything remoltely resembling civilization. But hey! I'd love for you to see for yourself what joys you'll be experiencing the next time you choose to visit us!
*ahem..*
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the lovely sights and sounds (or lack thereof) of North Edwards. No buildings or trees or even grass to obscure your picturesque view - just miles of sand and sagebrush. No joke, our yard doesn't have grass or dirt - just sand. Petey is in heaven.
After you've spent some time out in the desert, we'll take a breather and go for a shopping trip at the one and only grocery store for at least 15 miles (which doesn't exactly boast a large scale mall either). You know the type: where the milk is $4 a gallon, the shelves are more empty than full and the clerk doesn't speak much English. After a whirlwind afternoon of shopping, we can head over next door to our fine Mexican dining establishment. Aren't you just excited? And that my friends, is the retail district of North Edwards.
So, you may ask, what have you been doing with yourselves with all this free time? Well, enjoying the benefits of doing Christmas shopping online and playing in the yard/sandbox with Petey. And, I happened to finally turn the fabric I bought 5 years ago in a tree skirt. Nifty huh? And no, of course I didn't iron it before or after I finished - I'm just a slacker like that.
So whatta say? Ready to come visit? Please?
This weekend, we took a day trip down to LA and had lunch at this very traditional English restaurant and then wandered along the Santa Monica pier while Petey chased the 'ducks' (pigeons) around and considered launching his tap-dancing career.
