Hi Everyone!
We’re moving across country, from California to Tennessee. I’m so excited, and it will be quite hectic for at least the next month and a half. The new house (which is a really old house… more on that below) won’t be ready for us to move in until September 1st.
Sophie wearing her pearls!
Duke, acting innocent!
The plan is to leave Los Angeles July 31st and take about a week to travel to Tennessee. It will be me, Billy, our 2 French Bulldogs (Sophie & Duke), our Cockatiel (Sunny), and our 2 small African Frogs (sure, call me crazy, but I love these frogs, and they sing!!). Seriously, the frogs sing/croak at night. Needless to say, it will be crowded in our VW bug. Just kidding! We will be traveling in a Ford Escape ~ as we escape from L.A. Oh, did I mention we will be pulling a small Uhaul?
We’re kind of like the opposite of the Beverly Hillbillies. Ha! Ha! It’s going to be a fun, exciting road trip. Along the way we will be making some great food stops and the plan is to be snapping pics and blogging as I can. With all our animals in tow it may be more like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! But it will be like you’re all coming along for the ride (well, kinda).
I also plan to schedule some automatic posts for while we’re on the road. I have so many food pictures that I haven’t blogged about yet, so I hope that will keep my foodie friends happy while we’re on our new adventure.
The Corners
And here’s the house we’re moving to in Tennessee! It was built in 1829. I love the house, it’s wonderful ~ and huge, over 5000 square feet!
The River in our backyard!
The property is just amazing. We will have about 25 acres, with a gorgeous river. We can fish right in our own back yard. I love to fish, and you know I’ll be cooking that up!!
House in the distance.
The plan is to have a huge veggie garden, and lots of fruit trees. Oh, and chickens! Yay ~ fresh eggs!
This time next year I will be posting about the fresh veggies from our own garden. It’s really a dream come true for us!
Hope you stay tuned… ’cause I can guarantee that there will be some surprises along the way! 😉

Okay…that doggie sniffing the flowers is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in life!!! Love your new home, too! May you have many blessed years there!
Welcome to the almost South! Great to have you in our neckah the woods! Ally
Helena: This is going to be quite a change in location for you. How close are you to Nashville? The new house and surroundings are beautiful. Have a wonderful trip and take care…
Hi Susan! I miss you girl!! We’re about 40 minutes south of Nashville. I sure hope you come visit ~ we’ve got plenty of room. xoxo
You’ll love Tennessee! I moved to east Tennessee to go to college a million years ago from Maine and stayed there until my kids were grown. My ex is from middle Tennessee so I’ve spent a lot of time there. People are so friendly – you’ll be happy from the day you plant your feet on home soil.
Good luck!
Welcome to the neighborhood to you and the entire family!
Looking forward to seeing you at breakfast on Saturday!

Hi Tomm! I’m really looking forward to it! Plus, I can’t wait to start cooking with fresh wheat flour, corn, etc. See you on Saturday!! 😉
Whew..this post popped up on my FB feed today and I thought you were leaving again!!!! SO glad to see the dates. Hope your friends have the corrected address since you didn’t end up at The Corners after all.
Oh, hahahaha…. I guess I didn’t realize that post would be automatically generated. I’ve gotta fix that. Thanks! We’re not moving.
