12.
You know it's time to move out of California when...
you're coloring with your daughter and notice that you have given a pony highlights.
We are emptying out the cupboards and having many interesting meals as a result. Today's chocolate chip cupcakes frosted with marshmallow cream were a hit. Macaroni and cheese with black beans was kind of a strange pairing. D and M graciously consumed red quninoa risotto (power fuel of Inca soldiers, don't you know) and with curried pork roast. Desert that night was a rhubarb & peach coulis (last summer's bounty) with sugar cookies & vanilla ice cream. Tonight: improvised crab boil (รก la Deb W.!)
ONLY 12 days until a very big truck comes to pick up our stuff. Left to pack: kitchen, Audrey's room and loooots of loose ends. Yard sale tomorrow. Note to self: manna rots when you collect more than you actually need.
We are so excited and cannot believe that we are actually about to move out of state, to a place where we know only a few friends of friends, aren't moving for a job or anything else. Some people think we're crazy while others really understand. All we know is that it became the desire of our hearts. We fell in love with Portland and instantly felt in our souls that this was the place for us. We prayed and waited patiently, watching with amazement as God has opened one providential door, right after another. Sadly, we will definitely be missing our friends and family here in CA. But it already looks as though our new B&B on SE 20th will be receiving many visitors from here and abroad starting from the time we move in. Denise has so graciously offered to fly up and help us move in, get settled, etc. That's a true friend!
Anyone need...
- CalKing headboard, simple, matte-white shutter-look. Has a tiny dent/scratch. (We've decided we actually just like our bed being on the ground.)
- Stainless Steel LG Refrigerator with freezer on bottom.
- Oodles of African paraphernalia (formal outfit, Ashanti chief stool, framed art, carvings?)
- Older dryer
- Queen box spring
- Mounds of miscellaneous junk?

I think its cool that you are going to OR. The way your house came about, etc seems like a really neat thing. I actually do need a dryer! :) I gave mine away right before we came up to high sierra and it looks like we may be headed back to socal! Hope the yard sale goes well!!
Darn! I forgot to eat one of the cupcakes. The marshmallow frosting sounds delicious.
(If you really did actually give the pony highlights, that may just be one of the funniest things I've ever heard.)
Embarrassed to say, it's true.
