Changes!

Whew!  It has been a crazy month!  An old friend kicked me out of my depression over yet another year just making ends meet in Brookings.  So, to make a long story short - I moved to Whidbey Island, WA a week ago!  It was a humbling, tiring experience.  I received so much love and good wishes that I was overwhelmed.  It is hard leaving a place where I know someone virtually ANYWHERE I go in town, to a place where I am, once again, a total stranger.  But opportunities are limited in Brookings and I also want to see more of this incredible Northwest!

I hired a gentleman to tow my house since I do not own a truck.  We made the trip in two days with no mishaps!  Hooray!  I decided to live in a mobile home park for now, because it is cheaper than an RV park.  I do miss life in the RV park, though.  My house looks like a tiny foot in a big shoe in the mobile home lot!

Whidbey Island is lovely.  Rosie and I have been searching out good dog walking trails and parks.  The Whidbey Island Music Fest was this weekend and we hit that!

Rosie is an old hand at modeling.  Those are ducklings in the top photo - makes me think of that story "Make Way for Ducklings!" which was part of our reading book in the third grade and I always enjoyed reading it.  It's a bit hard to see the mermaid behind Rosie in the bottom photo.  I put his leash on her hand and someone had put a bandana on her earlier in the day.

More about the move later...
