Well, we're in the process. The inspection went ok. So if all goes as planned we'll be moving into this little bugger in about a month. It's in Portland. That's right, we're moving our funky operation down to the City of Roses, Stumptown, Bridgetown, the land of Beavers! Goodbye Seattle. I'll miss the sound and it's oceany smells and the seagulls and seeing the space needle on the skyline, but I'm excited to explore a new city, especially one that's more bikeable and not filled to the brim with towering condo castles popping up on every corner like ugly mushrooms. Our house is funky and charming with an awesome secret garden-ish yard & detached shop which, once 'fixed up', (a lot is needed) will house my studio (woo hoo!). The lot is almost a quarter acre! The current tenants are obsessive gardeners (roses, a WILLOW TREE, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, multitudinous Dahlias- an arbor with purple clematis climbing up it)...how dreamy is that? There's some work to be done to the place (ahem), but we are pumped to hit the aisles of Home Depot & start bickering over which color of plumber's putty to use.... Ahhhh....
