Moving to the sun

Hello. I truly hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Dillon and I had a wonderful time with family and friends. We got to spend a day with Dillon's mom and step dad. She made a wonderful ham dinner that I am sad to say I missed. I had to drop little Meg off at my life saving Aunt's house. My aunt is some kind of Cat genius and offered to watch our little devil for the few weeks while we are getting settled and moved to California. Meg has already forgotten us. She did not even bother to get down from the bed when we came to visit, little stinker. Now that we are home, I really miss her little fuzzy butt but am happy she is with someone who is taking such good care of her.

We ate wonderful, as always, Thanksgiving dinner that my mother and aunt prepared, drank wine and held my nephew. He is soooo cute, he is the screaming one in the picture. The Raiders fan would be my brother, I'm sorry. I can't wait to watch him grow, my nephew that is, as you can see my brother is already grown. Today he has his first set of shots :( Saturday we drove up and spent the night with wonderful friends along the Trinity River, one of the most beautiful places I have seen in a while. All the way back to the freeway we mused about how rich we are in the friends the Lord has blessed us with. I can't say much more as the tears of love, gratitude and wonderment blur the keys. If you are reading this I hope you feel a warm hug from Dillon and I as we love you and value you as the source of the richness we have in life and are forever indebted to you for your love and friendship. A sincere and heart felt Thank You So Much to Jen and Steve. You are both a blessing.

We found a great little basement (basement in that it is under the main house but is, in no other way, a basement) apartment in Loomis. We will be living with or under rather, a man named Cal who has 4 sheep and 2 Llamas and like a million feet of land to play on. It is a beautiful property and is close to many things, Dillon says, but far from everything. I'm still not certain how to get there but I do know my address so I can give that to the police when they find me lost in a few weeks. It is quiet and wonderful. I thought about posting a picture but would rather you come and visit instead. So give me a call and we can set up a date. Here is Dillon and I looking very happy on the property, near where I get to have a garden, of our new home, for a while. This week we are back in Portland packing and having dinner with several wonderful friends and hoping to miss the next storm coming over the pass next weekend. Love you all.
