Well, she did it...

I told you cats that I was moving to California, and I did it.  I've been here about three weeks and I'm getting in a groove a bit. I am driving some by myself, but not very far from home so far.  I am lucky to have a sister that loves to drive and offers to come and pick me up and run me around.

I have gotten a p.o. box (a requirement for my neighborhood) and I have gotten a new dentist and am trying out the local nail salon. All the nail techs are from Vietnam and it's really difficult for me to understand their English.  (they probably feel the same way about me, but that's another story).

I have gotten the house pretty much set up, I am still missing some things that I think are in boxes in the garage.  It will all sort itself out soon. If I can't find something that I absolutely need, I'll buy a replacement.  It's all good. We got this.

The house itself is fabulous...

The sunsets are marvelous...

The ocean is where it should be...

When I'm not unpacking boxes...

I'm "cooking with gas"...

If I'm not in the studio...

I'm soaking up the sun...

I possibly may have burned some bridges when I moved, but they were not vital to my journey at all. 

What is paramount is that I'm with my dear sisters and that, my friends, is the main thing.

I think the studio is just about ready and I hope to have some new art to show soon...

So until then, enjoy life. Try to stay safe and warm and dry and keep your priorities straight.
