For the few of you who have been to my house, this isn't news...but my friendly little garden gnome is now joined by some colorful mushrooms...
And here's Fluffy's view...
Also, my mother recently put up a post about my place and there's a picture of my deck in the post. You can see her awesome blog (which was just featured in a magazine!) here...Recollections of a Vagabonde
Your garden gnome is so cute and so is your cat. I haven't been to Memphis in many years and after looking at your mom's blog, I should go. My how it's changed. Her sunset pictures over the river are spectacular.
Enjoy your new home in Memphis. We've moved a lot during the course of our marriage, and each place has been an enjoyable adventure. Sam
Notice the Chococat bookmark? I just started reading the book "As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto." Much to my surprise, I am loving it!

I have lived in a corporate apartment and then an extended stay hotel. I have stayed on a cruise ship and many, many hotels – mostly either Holiday Inns or Hiltons, with a few alofts thrown in too. But this week, I am moving into my home in Memphis. I don’t want to change the title of my blog because in my heart, I am still “living in Long Beach” as I really miss all my wonderful friends out there. My friend Karen is visiting to help me with the arduous task of moving and unpacking. She is here for a week and I am pretty sure it will not all be done before she is gone but she sure is helping out a LOT. We plan to take tons of pictures and I’ll post about the whole ordeal, I mean, experience soon. But here’s a picture of the house to tide you over for ...
