I'm not going to be able to come in world for awhile. I'm packing up my computer this morning, and putting it in a Pod that I won't have access to until later this month while I move from Long Island, New York, to the San Joaquin Valley in California! I'm going to miss our parties, and all of you! I expect to be back online sometime during the week of the 20th.
I'll keep in touch here in the forum and email in the Social Center.
Hugs and Kisses,
Frannie

Alternating between whirlwind and “hurry up and wait”. Landed at SFO mid afternoon, staying overnight with my sister before heading north to the Central Valley region of California, where our new digs are.
Spent the day ordering furniture, and taking care of other odds and ends. Then the next morning ordering a television that looks like a picture in a picture frame whenever it is off, and the less prosaic washer and dryer. First fun, then functional.
Waited until the afternoon for the “walkthrough” of our new home. This is the first time we are seeing our deco selections altogether, and we love it! Some glitches as to be expected, but no real surprises. Supply chain issues delaying some appliances, but we’ve been given loaners for the meantime.
Next morning, we sign the paperwork. Waaaay different from selling our last house. Just us, and a notary public, who did the seller’s thing earlier. Things are certainly different in California! Same number of signatures, though. Ugh! Good news though, our car has arrived, and we can return the rental, which is a bit big for my taste.
Now we wait. The deed won’t be recorded until Friday the 18th, when we can then pick up the keys.. And start moving in on Saturday!
wishing you both all the best miss you sis
kisses and much love
Yesterday we sold our house. Bittersweet,because we’ve many wonderful memories, but excited for a new life on the west coast.
Spent part of that morning clearing out things we thought would be helpful to first time homeowners, but were objections to after the walkthrough. Cannot please everyone.
Closing was in the afternoon, lawyers and sellers/buyers equal at four each! Our lawer, buyer‘s lawyer, buyer’s bank’s lawyer, and Title Company’s lawyer. What a racket for lawyers! About an hour and a half later, DH and I are homeless, as we won’t buy our next for over a week. No worries though, we’ll stay with my sister and a couple of hotels as circumstances warrant.
Drive to JFK Airport, stayed the night at the TWA Hotel. Cocktails in our room, and then one in the iconic TWA “Connie”, a restored Lockheed Constellation converted into a lounge. Totally overpriced, done solely for the experience.
And then an OK dinner at the hotel food court.
Today is flyaway day!
Un abrazo grande y vuelve pronto¡¡
Just so everyone knows, I’m going basic in RLC until I can get back in.
When you reach California, you put a memo outside airports seeking Sir Libitinarius !!! Say wanted who brings him back get 2000 rays !
Noir Squid Game starts 26th Febr.
Sending warm wishes. California is gorgeous :)
We will miss you and you beautiful smiles. Take care and enjoy the ride.
