New Tunes

Gertrude's favorite new artist is Michael Buble (like Boo-Blay...not like bubble). I would call him the Frank Sinatra of the 21st centuy.

I had heard him on Oprah a few weeks ago (please don't ask why I was watching Oprah) and really liked him. Then when we were in PA, Joe's sister had some of his songs on her ipod and I...uh, I mean Gertrude... was hooked so when a Starbucks we stopped at had his CD for sale, I decided that my favorite green travelling companion needed a little somethin-somethin. She's very happy.

Moving on

Got up before God was even awake this morning at 6am to finish packing the car and get on our way from Joe's parents' house. Luckily God woke up in time to stop the rain so we could pack the car without getting soaked.

It feels good to finally be on our way....

Gertie meets the Yarn Harlot

Gertrude (who we all know is an avid sock knitter) was so excited to meet Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. Stephanie graciously signed my book and allowed Gertrude to work a bit on the sock while I snapped a picture.

Day 1

So today was the first day of Team Bonham's moving adventure. After saying goodbye to our friends, mailing the leftover boxes to ourselves, loading our car and cleaning the apartment we left around 2:00 (2 hours later than we wanted to) ...which would have been fine but between traffic and our GPS trying to send us in all kinds of crazy directions, we got to our first important stop (seeing the Yarn Harlot) more than an hour late. :-(

Joe was a good sport, though and waited in line with me for 2 hours to get my book signed and even let me get some sock yarn. The picture above is him and Gertrude patiently waiting with me.
