Big Changes and how I got Here

Good Morning Spokane ! Yes indeed I have taken the thing I have talked about for the last 10 years and  "gone done it" I left Cali-for-Nye-A. Adios money sucker, joy taker, non responsive humans I am heading to the mountain's. Now do not get me wrong I am far to old to start my own homestead but on a smaller scale it is possible (for now). So you stick with this little blog and we will show how we can do it. I am doin this under grave circumstances. I will explain this in detail in one of the next post you read but for now let us talk about the idea and the move.

For long over 10 years I have longed to move out of California. I Love this state and what it use to be. I was born in Hawaii and migrated over here because my father got his big break in California. Great I was young and adjustable it worked. I went to good schools, made life time friends and had a good life. 

I married my first husband nothing worth mentioning but I did get two wonderful children from that adventure. You all know them. Hank "The Chosen One" and Heather Anne my baby girl "Ms. Independence". I took them after 18 years of marriage and an allergic reaction to my husband way's and then boom here comes my second hubby. A gift from the Good Lord. Until he was not. 25 years of a great marriage and POOF all is lost. Long story and one I will put in my book. 

So here I was September 23rd 2023 and my life was blown up as I knew it and in so little as 24 hours I am at a cross road with no stop signs. To call it emotional Chaos is an understatement. But we have been taught and trained to put our Big Girl Panties on and remember My Higher Power does not give me more than I can handle. Bullshit I say because my HP has a weird sense of humor and idea on what is best for me. 

STORY TO COME PROMISE !

.............

Given no choice I needed to make some changes. And so at the beginning of the year 2024 I purchased a nice little 1938 home in Spokane. I would be coming up with my dog and my positive spirit. I spent the remained of the spring and early summer packing and making arrangements for the home in California. Unfortunately my dog Casey passed  a week prior to our planned move. So sad but for the best for her the travel and change would have taken a toll on her. 

So I am up here now and I am going to let you join me to watch renovation and changes I hope to make to my little home. 

I so miss my land I had but there is a lot of ot here !

And here we are 2024

Well it is 2024 and this dear year has really tried my patience. But first a bit on how the family is doing. The most important person is the Bean my granddaughter sit down this will hit you hard but she is 7 years old. SAY WHAT ! I do have to say that I believe she is going to turn out to be quite like her Yaya. More about her as we get reacquainted. 

The youngsters are doing great Heather and Chris still up in Oaktown rocking that place. Christopher has gotten promoted a few times with in the Berkley School District and Heather between mamahood and Hairdressing well she to rock that bay area. And what do you say about that little Nugget my Bean she is 7 can you believe that time has passed so quickly. I think I will blame her for my lost time off line. There you have it.

Now let us travel up PNW a big change. The  chosen one Hank and Linzie have moved to the beautiful state of Washington. The change took time but they did all their research and that was the spot. The result they are so Happy and that is what every parent want's. The have a new baby Lemmy my new Granddog and he is a hoot. I have spent time with him and that is another post of it's own. They purchased a home for a 1/4 of the price of California and why not. The state is beautiful, less political bullshit and so many wonderful things to do. I am enjoying the things I have discovered up there and will post about them all. But for now the most important thing is they are so happy.

Well it is already March and what I have been through is more than I can put into this post. But my life is about to change drastically. I do not know when, how or why .... ok I know why but that is not the point. 

You all know my other websites and I am going to try to get them into one place not a small task but one that I can do. With that Happy New Years for the last 4 plus years.

Let's Go !
