safe and sound

So, we've made it to the West Coast! As time is being spent with the family, friends and other long lost souls, I thought I'd just pop in to let everyone know we're okay! I'll probably be taking a hiatus for a few weeks to get us through the holidays. Also, we've just discovered base housing up North has a 3-6 month wait list, and we'll be going back to apartment living for some time! (But great news, the rental agency back East says there's been a lot of interest in our house and one couple has already put in an application!) So now we've got to hunt one down. Can't wait to see what everyone gets for Christmas! Hope you all have a wonderful season!

I'm a celebrity in my little mind.




PS: Isn't my new red fedora fabulous?!

fair winds and following seas...

This will be my last entry for a while. The Internet is being shut off today. I'm sure I'll go through a bit of withdraw not having the Fedora Lounge, or access to our bank accounts, but I also know this is one of the final things we have to do before we are truly and officially on our way!

Hopefully I'll be able to update from my mother's house (we're staying there for 3 weeks once we get into California), but as far as I know, their computer had a virus and has yet to be restored. If that's the case, it will be well into January before I'm able to update since we'll be at the mercy of the base housing gods.

So, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year! Perhaps 2009 will see me fit to finally start collecting all my vintage clothes and goodies!
