New “temporary” quarters.

Well, we are now settled in our new, but temporary quarters. My brother-in-law has kindly let me take over his shop until we find our new house and shop. The plan is to be set up and sewing by the end of the day tomorrow, Monday.

Thanks to everyone for their patience while we have been moving and know that I will be back to work filling orders on Tuesday morning.

Moving required four trips with a friend’s 24’ enclosed car hauler, one for the 5^th wheel trailer we are living in and the last one with a very overloaded pickup and a U-haul trailer. At just over 5700 miles and all of our belongings I had a friend tell me I was nearly qualified at a Teamster! Ha! Oh, and add in towing a newly purchased 5^th wheel for my nephew and I’m probably pushing the 6,000 mile range in the last 6 weeks! No wonder I’m tired of driving! Good thing I Love my pickup and have a good supply of podcasts on the I pod to listen to! Great company and good conversations with my son helped pass the time as well, so it was not all bad.

The weather held off until we were about 100 miles from Pendleton and greeted us with varying amounts of snow and ice for the last little bit into town. Cars in the ditch to the right of us and cars in the ditch to the left of us, but we kept trundling along until we made it in!

Lynn had her first day of work on Saturday, and thinks her new route will be an Okay route. For those that know Pendleton, her route is on the north hill, above the high school. Not the steepest hill in town perhaps, but not flat by any means. The next week will see things smooth out and soon she will have the routine down.

I’ll try to get back to my normal routine of updating my blog once a week now and keep everyone up to date on how things are progressing on the house hunt.
