This is darling Spencer Harrison Templeton who arrived in October. I got to spend some time with him when he was a couple of weeks old, and look forward to seeing him again later this month when I head north, for our Christmas visit
Much has changed since I was here last. We have moved from the condo in Yountville after a 14 month stay, to a sweet house in Napa. I call it my Hippie House. The landlord in Yountville decided he wanted to sell the unit, and we didn't want it for the half million + they were asking. So after some serious searching, we landed in Browns Valley in Napa. I really like it a lot. The cats have adjusted nicely.
I went from working in probably the nicest kitchen I will ever have to a .....well.....kind of a hippie kitchen. But it does have a gas stove, and that was my highest priority in the kitchen. We had a few appliance hiccups in the first few days, but are hopefully over all those and really to rock.
My sewing studio is at about 80%. I finally have a studio with a hardwood floor! Actually did some sewing in it a few days ago.
The presentation in October at NCQC was a lot of fun, and so far I am booked to speak and/or teach a workshop at 6 different Quilt Guilds in the Northern California area!! Excited, and nervous!
My website is up, and I'm doing some fine tuning in the next few days.
Also, I've decided that what the heck, I'm retired. I have lots of free time, right? So I going to launch another blog. This one will be dedicated to my experiences growing up with food. Will be sharing stories and recipes from as far back as I can remember. Planning to look for a name like "NOT Julia Child". Shall let you know when ready for viewing.
More big news, I got a new computer! I had no idea things could go so fast!! A friend of ours added Office to it tonight, so I'm excited to play around in that.
Not planning to do much Christmas decorating as we will both be north for the actual holiday. But some things will come out this week, and I'll get some photos to share, so you can see my new home.
Thanks for checking back. All is good. I will be back soon~!~!
