Yesterday immersed myself in strawberries and cherries trying to hold off the worry. I managed to make 11 half pints of strawberry jam and three of cherry preserves, my summer of fun and food is starting off well.
Well, almost..there is the need for a place to live, soon. I was calling people and not getting replies, emailing with no result and the one house I saw and loved I knew it was too remote for me.
Later on I called a couple of apartment listings and actually got to talk to a person right away who said I could go and see the empty apartment. Sooooo, see it I did and it's looking good. It's completely not what I wanted but I believe in keeping an open mind to see where it takes me. This little apartment is practically in downtown Nevada City, has a huge garden area out front which will suit the boys, plus it's funky and fun and even has a nice big porch/deck. Of course, no garage but there is off-street parking, the two bedrooms are really one and a half and I'm sure several other reason why I shouldn't want it, but I do.
Imagine living right downtown in a wonderful, historic, funky mountain town filled with musical events, bars, restaurants, shopping, unusual characters and whatnot? I think it's just perfect for me right now. I'm ready to walk the boys all around and greet people, to wander out in the evening to find some music or a play or just some conversation. Sounds really great to me. I'll be moving my studio to a safe and secure location surrounded by other artists so that's taken care of.
So keeping my fingers crossed...
Peace
I like preserves. Please e-mail me some……just 1/2 pint will do. I believe that is what that slot in your computer is for. Once received, I also will keep my fingers crossed for your little apartment.

ReplyDeleteActually, it's the bluetooth that transports jam and other goodies. Sorry, but ever since I sent some pesto to a friend things have been tasting a bit strange, (smiling).

ReplyDeleteI've done my research and of course you are correct. Although I am 100 percent Italian, I cannot embrace garlic flavored cherries.
P.S. Good one.

ReplyDelete100% Italian, married to a Mexican woman, oh my, the food in your household most certainly leaves mine in the dust, though my fresh scones covered in warm jam are rather yummy.
