With closing only 2 days away, I guess it is safe to say we have sold our first home in the Methow, down at Benson Creek. We know and like the buyers, and it will be good to move on and not have the responsibility of maintaining the other property, especially over the winter. It’s a little bittersweet, though. We were quite happy there, but it was just too cramped a living space (although the shop space was great for Rick) and we were losing our enthusiasm for building a separate house on the property, which was the original plan when we bought it in 2003.
So onward! We love our new home on Wolf Creek, it is just as if it was built for us. And all we have to do is finish some things up, not go through the whole building process. Rick finally has the new shop all set up and he thinks it will have a better work flow and be plenty big enough. Of course, you all know how much I love my studio – I still can’t get over the fact that I actually have a work space of my own!
I dropped my camera before leaving for Seattle, and when I tried to use it over the weekend, discovered everything is working except the shutter button. Won’t take a picture – no how, no way. A blogger without a camera is like:
- a fish without a bicycle?
- a weaver without a loom?
- a cat without a clue?
Anyway, my new camera is on the way but won’t be here until next week. I am off to knitting retreat on Wednesday, so I guess I won’t be chronicling the event this year, at least not in pictures.
Hi There,
Been trying to get off an email all day – to no avail. We have been eager to hear how the Benson Creek home sale was going. We are glad it is on the right trajectory and will be eager to see escrow close.
We have pictures to share of Tatti helping us carve our pumpkin this year. The big announcement is that we are going to adopt a new siamese (long hair lynx point) just before Thanksgiving. She is up near Sacramento. We will send a picture along. Stretch likes the name Neko (me too) which means “cat” in Japanese. Depending on how you pronounce it, it also means smile 😎

Katie, you bring a disk, I’ll bring my spare camera. Packing it now. Holly
