The Tickets are Booked!

Wow! I thought the day would never come. We officially are joining Fred in Northern California on April 9! The U haul has been reserved and most all of the packing here in the apartment is complete. I am very excited and so happy to finally join Fred.

Until next time...

House Hunting Take One

Fred awoke early today to drive to the furthest eastern point in Lancaster to view a rental home. How far East you ask? A chicken coop in the backyard, goats and roosters in the neighbor's, and little Taco Bell dogs running after Fred's Jeep East.

The home was beautiful inside and out and sitting on its own acre in the desert made for a take your breath away setting. A Joshua tree in the front yard and the vast Mojave desert for miles that the eye could see offered just enough wind to tickle your ears to tempt you to stay. Between the charming noises of roosters, goats, and dogs, nothing but a peaceful silence uncommon to anyone living in a metropolitan area.

This is how I describe this place. Fred was there, sent a picture to me on my cell, and described what he saw, felt, and heard. We are not renting this house, thus the title "Take One".

See you next time.

Fred's in Arizona

I heard from Fred today and he and Lynette finally made it to Arizona. They will be in Bakersfield, CA tonight. Today is day three of their travels and after the snow storm they encountered yesterday in New Mexico, the equally beautiful landscape of Arizona has welcomed them with open arms.

This is the first post of Hiya California. I decided to start a blog for friends and family to keep up with the happenings of our new journey. I intend for this to be a great way to share pictures, recommend wines from the area, and of course, being the foodies that we are, share in our food adventures, too!

Thanks for visiting and see you again soon!
