Just wanted to give a “heads up”…..I will not be blogging for the next couple of weeks. My wife and I are in the process of moving from Los Angeles to Seattle. After months of house hunting, we finally closed on a house in early February. We were up there a couple of weeks ago painting, window blinds…new carpet, etc and now the actual move is upon us. We are looking forward to it as we will be near both of our other daughters/husbands and a new grandchild. I also think Alaska Airlines will appreciate the frequent flyer activity between LA and Seattle from our LA daughter/husband/grandchildren and us as I know we will.
Wow! Very exciting! I hope all goes well with the move!
All went well…still a fair amount to finish up, but basics are done. Happy to be near our two daughters and their husbands, but will miss our LA daughter/husband and the grand kids. Alaska Airlines is and has been our friend with direct flights out of Burbank.
I love the stature and highlights.
Thank you very much!!
That’s a big move, congratulations, Kirt. Cheers to a smooth and happy transition.
Thank you very much Jet!! Getting pretty settled as we speak! Nice to be near our two girls and their husbands up here. The hard part is leaving our LA daughter/husband and grandkids. Alaska Airlines is our friend:) !!
How exciting Kirt. Best wishes for a smooth move to enjoy being near your family.
Thanks Brad!! Love being close to the two girls and their husbands and a new baby on the way! The hard part is leaving our LA family, but we were there when they started their family and want to do the same for our two up here.
How nice that you could do that for all your kids.
Seattle is a great city. I wish you all the best in your move. xo
Thanks Darlene….feels good to be somewhat settled. But it’s just down to the final touches so the big stuff is done!!
Exciting news Kirt. Hope all goes well and smooth for you and your family. Cheers.
All is well….thank you very much!!

Congratulations, and best wishes on your move! Here’s hoping everything goes smoothly! π
Went pretty well….we weren’t sure how the Maine Coon sisters would handle the long car drive and hotels, but they did pretty good! Maybe it was the drugs we gave them?????
Hooray for cat drugs! And I’m glad you made it safely – best wishes in your new home!
Thanks Diane!! Feels good!! Hope all is well with you!
Congrats on the move, Kirt. I hope everything goes smoothly. π
Thanks Diana….went well….had a big baby shower for our youngest last week and our LA daughter and granddaughter came up for it!! I’m not gonna lie…we are a bit tuckered out, but happy!!
Welcome back after a busy time away. No wonder you’re tuckered out. Hang on to the glow.
Lolβ¦.thanks Diana!!
We’ll be here when you get back, Kirt. Good luck with the move and enjoy the Pacific Northwest.
Thanks Dan!! Much appreciated!
I was there 1985 at top revolving restaurant at sunset. Spectacular. Naturally had the salmon.
It is a beautiful city!! I love the green and all of the hiking trails!! We’ve been coming up here for 14 years when our youngest started college at the University of Washington. She never left and our oldest and her husband fell in love with the area through all that and ended here about 4 years ago. Our LA family loves it up here also and they have been making frequent trips up over the years. Our two grandchildren in LA (5&3) have been raised coming up here often to see their two aunts and uncles and now grandpa and grandma will also be here. Not the same they have had with us living close to them, but they understand that there is a new baby coming for our youngest which means a cousin for them!! We are blessed with a close family!! Hope all is well with you!
Good luck with the move Kirt. How exciting, a new chapter? Look forward to seeing you again when you are back!
Thanks Gill….getting settled. It was a month ago today the packers came and packed everything up at our LA house. We left LA at the end of that week and had about a week and a half here before our furniture and stuff arrived and then the fun of unpacking (which we are still doing to some degree). Getting there and happy to be near our two daughters and their husbands (and a new baby due in June for our youngest). We already miss our grandchildren in LA, but they come up here often and we will do the same going back to LA. Hope all is well with you!!
I really like the colours you used for the sky.
Thank you…much appreciated!! I had fun with this piece!! Seattle has such a beautiful skyline with the Space Needle!
Wow, that is so amazing, Kirt. Hope everything with the move goes smoothly! π
Thanks Carl!! Itβs been an episode, but we are getting there!! My best to you and your family!! Love Seattle !!
You are very welcome, Kirt. I have heard good things about Seattle. Particularly with improvements in walking and cycling infrastructure! π
That’s awesome Kirt … congratulations to you and your family!
Thanks Denise!!
