I Don't Think We're in Denver Anymore...

When Val and Samuel arrived I had to go pick them up in Pittsburgh. I didn't really know where I was going, so my friends John and Lisa spent the day with me and showed me around the city a bit. We had lunch a Primanti Bros. which is a Pittsburgh tradition I had not yet experienced, and the food was almost as good as the company! (Which means it was very good!)















After lunch they introduced me to geocaching, which was a lot of fun. I am excited about going again! While we were looking for a cache, I got a few photos of downtown Pittsburgh.

After our fun day out, John made sure I could get to the airport and home without problems by putting his GPS in my car! What a great friend! I did make it to the airport fine, and brought Val and Samuel home. It was a wonderful day!

On the Road Again

The drive went well. We were blessed with good weather and no problems with either vehicle the whole way. I guess that is how it goes when you choose the right moving team!

Filling the Void

Just want to get everybody up to speed, fill in the blanks a little, reassure you all (if anybody still checks my blog after my prolonged absence) that I live on, and have in fact done things. So here goes the beginning of a series...



Egg Salad. I like egg salad. I also found a great way to cut up the eggs so they are the right size and still fluffy with very little mess or work! You may be asking yourself how, but if I have not told you, you may not be able to answer yourself. To save you some grief, I will tell you: a pastry blender! Yes folks, a pastry blender works wonders on hard boiled eggs for salad. No! It is not just for pastry anymore! ;)




Packing went well, I had lots of help from my friends! We even managed a little fun, as documented in these photos! Here Jessie tries to stow away in a box:


Tristan had fun building with these wire grates:


Here is Sam playing with Tristan and Darien so the ladies could pack and visit:

Well, we finished packing and the men loaded the truck, and we were off!
