Eastward Bound

Personal

I’ve mentioned that I’ll be moving back to Pennsylvania.  Well, the movers have taken all of my belongings and now the time has come for me to get on a plane early tomorrow morning so I can get to the east coast.

I’ll be spending some time in Ocean City, Maryland where my mom lives while I hunt for a place around the Philadelphia area.
I’m nervous and excited to make this move.  I love the San Francisco Bay Area.  I absolutely love it here.  I love the people, the weather, the scenery, and so much more.  San Francisco has made me feel at home and I’ll miss it incredibly as I fly over the bay tomorrow.
The Philadelphia (Main Line) area is where I am from.  Though I was born in Virginia and moved around a lot, the Main Line is where I feel I “grew up”.  It will be great to come back to old friends and be a lot closer to my mom.  I’m not crazy about the cold winters but it’s a beautiful area and I’m looking forward to rediscovering it all.  It has been far too long since I last went skiing too.
So I may be off the grid for a little bit while I work on finding a home but I will be returning all contact requests as soon as possible.
See you on the East Side!
Nowhere in this country, from sea to sea, does nature comfort us with such assurance of plenty, such as rich and tranquil beauty as in those unsung, unpainted hills of Pennsylvania.

This is crazy and exciting and terrifying and amazing all wrapped up in one big, expensive package. We have professionals doing the especially skilled labor (taking down walls, putting up walls, adding a spiral staircase, stuff with electricity, plumbing, gas/oil, and 100 other things). We took on a task that took approximately 5x longer than we originally expected and though it’s nowhere near perfect, we’re pretty proud of ourselves: we painted ...

November Desktop Images
Every month I feature a new image for download for you to use as your desktop background. Click to download it and see it at its huge size and resolution.To me, November means cold and crisp. In San Francisco it can mean cold and foggy. Very cold and very foggy. These pictures were taken on the Marin side of the Golden Gate Bridge on a frigid day when the fog was so thick, you could hardly see five feet in front of you. Serious fog.Enjoy!I have loved living in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's not all peaches and plentiful parking but it has been a fabulous place to live and, if the conditions were right, I would stay here forever.I loo ...
