From There to Here.

The GPS sabotaged my father and I every chance she got. We ended up on a LONG tiny road that delayed our leaving California by several hours.

Vive la France!


One of several nerve-wracking stops on our way across Texas. For the first leg of our trip we were towing my car behind the truck. The Uhaul folks initially attached my car to the tow-dolly wrong, so it kept coming loose, shifting out-of-whack, and causing much anxiety. (It took us a few days to figure out how to make it right.)

But O, such prettiness~





And the moon rolled along the horizon next to us...

Who Cares!?

Oh, I am so behind on sharing news and pictures on the ol' blog.

But I am moving in a month, and I won't spend my last month in Los Angeles sitting quietly at my computer, looking to the past.

June is all about putting things in boxes, taking other things to Goodwill, having some work done on my teeth, (I went to elementary school with my current dentist. Isn't that great?) and untangling all sorts of loose ends.

Thanks, Austin.

Had a wonderful trip to Texas. It was too short, but I got to go swimming twice, met good people, ran around town with my brother, and even got to see my ma and pa.

I ate a surprising number of delicious tacos...




...while my big brother did complicated calculations for me.....

Lots of adventuring through antique stores...




Lots of photo-taking and hand-painted-sign admiration....



And one night my brother took my parents and me to an old Texas/German Biergarten in the middle of nowhere. It was awesome!


Details and pics from the fair in my next post. Stay tuned....

AUSTIN RENEGADE

I am getting ready for this weekend, exploring austin and obsessing over:

antiques, marbles, skinny satin ribbon, fentimans soda, tacos, more tacos, austin birds, brown craft paper, books, boxes, boxes-of-books, lumber, thread, ice cream, doctor who, bruxism, alaskan klee kais, toy stores, why my fingernails seem to be growing super fast, visiting my parents (and the hotel jacuzzi where they're staying) tonight, and where I'm going to get coffee tomorrow morning.

It's all good. Let's all move to Austin.

Phew.

Just wrapped up a great weekend at Unique LA, and now turning my full attention to Renegade: Austin, happening in a FORTNIGHT.

I have much to tell, but for tonight, I'll just point you to this sweet little feature about me ("me! me! me!") on Renegade's blog.

Stay tuned for more absurd, impossibly complicated things.

I really wanted to see these pictures together...


This is my future housemate, Henry, this past weekend in Spruce Pine.



This is Maranda's friend Hobbes, last summer in Murray.

Thanks for humoring me for a sec.
