mckinleyville

we are here!! where are you? two semi-long days of driving through some of the most beautiful parts of our country. along the strangely named hood canal (not a canal. an arm of puget sound, but still, lovely) and on down thru western washington and the willamette valley of oregon and the mountains of southern oregon and then off toward the coast down the smith river to crescent city. lastly, the north coast of california by stone lagoon and big lagoon and clam beach.

we went to the co-op in arcata to shop for dinner. it is much bigger and grander than it was 35 years ago when i first joined and shopped there. quel surprise!! rice and stir fried veggies for dinner. and our daughter indigo! we are home, tho we don't have a house yet.

we found our first refuge here on craig's list. our host and hostess are lovely people, reflected in our delightful little cottage and the beautiful yard. every window has a nice outlook. if i could find the cord that connects the camera to the computer you would have pix.

we are very tired. we will sleep well tonight, cat willing.

comments are appearing and disappearing randomly. not individual comments. all of them. and blogger just ate my previous attempt at this update. we're looking for the camera/computer cord. there's a pile-o-stuff just shoved willy-nilly into boxes as we backed out of the house cleaning as we went. middle daughter, who lives locally, came by to say hello and had dinner with us!

escrow closed! the money is in the bank!

and we probably have a nice furnished temp for june while we look for a suitable rental. this is working out well so far.

comments still mysteriously on and off.
