From balcony

Three thousand miles, several thousand dollars, and much angst and stress later, we made it.  More details to follow.  Stay tuned.

    I’m glad that you are finally at your new home. I can’t wait to hear the whole story! I’ve been going through Blog withdrawal and it’s been ugly. FYI, on my interview trip last week to Portland, I flew with 3 comfort books–the Kate series! I’m hoping that it brings me good luck.

    Hooray! Welcome to Portland.

    We have many blustery days. But then we also have days like last Saturday where it was sunny and warm, in March even.

    Your new house looks gorgeous! May you and your daughters make a wonderful home there. Good luck on all the unpacking and technicalities that moving requires!

    Yay! Hope you are enjoying your new digs – and glad to see the dogs made it. :) It looks like you live in a beautiful neighborhood. I have lived most of my life in the Pacific Northwest (albeit on the dry side of the mountains) and I love it here. I hope you come to love it just as much.

    I have also been going through “blog withdrawal” so I await the full moving story on the edge of my seat.

    we call this “Springtime in the Rockies” Wednesday it snowed heavy wet snow, thurday it was 40 degrees, friday it was 50 degrees, they’re calling for snow again on Saturday and 50 degrees on Sunday and Monday. I call it Psychotic weather, but we enjoy every bit of sunshine that shows up! I’m glad you made it to your new how, I hope you love it!

    I’m so glad you guys made it. I’ve been thinking about you since I know how horrible moving can be. The house looks cool, and the dogs look very happy. Take it easy, and don’t work too hard:)

    Being a person who lives in a city where it’s pratically blasphemous to suggest rain is in any way a bad thing, I just want to say that your photos look gorgeous. 8D

    However, can I suggest that putting up photos that can identify where you reside is not a good idea…..

    Hopefully none of your fans are nutters, but better safe than sorry. 8/

    Welcome to Portland, as a recent implant hope you enjoy the city like my family and I are doing thus far. Hope to someday come to a book signing and meet you.

    Glad you made it safely, break open the wine and kick back for a moment.

    The view is beautiful and I’m so envious (but in a good way) of the green trees right now :)
