I wanted to get here in the daylight so she could explore the yard a bit.
She had a ball rolling in the grass. She'd walk a few feet and roll again. This went on for half an hour. We only explored one small area. She has an acre and a half to roll in. This will take a while!
It rained here last night. The moving van arrives tomorrow. I hope it's not wet but I think it will be. They're going to have to off-load somewhere else and tote my stuff in a smaller truck to the house. The big van won't fit under the oak trees. It's always something!
I have my work cut out here. The flower beds in the back are overgrown. The house needs a good "spring" cleaning. Painters, carpenters, plumbers - the joys of home ownership, especially a 1927 home.
But we're here. That's all that's important right now!

I have been wondering about you! So glad you are home!!
Glad you are in your new home. Penny seems to love it. I've been following your progress across country on Facebook. Can't wait to see pics of your new house.m
Nice to have news from you this morning. I'm so happy for you that you are in LA in time to have Thanksgiving with your family. When you have all your "stuff" unloaded in your house, I hope you can relax and take your time to enjoy getting settled. You'll truly find out what being retired is all about!!!
Welcome home!
So happy you arrived safe and sound in your new house. Penny looks very happy to be out of the car after all that time :)
Welcome to your 'new' LA. Glad you made it safely.
I was wondering myself ... packing is so hard... "keep or not keep" ., Glad you made it to your home.... And I know that Penny is so happy!!!
How exciting! Hope you both settle in quickly. Penny already seems to be at home. :)

Yah! Enjoy!
Happy to hear you and Penny reached your new home in LA safely. Not an easy ride, did it with two dogs from CA to TN and in November too. Many icy bridges. Welcome home!
So glad to see you had a safe journey.
So glad to hear you made is safe and sound. Looks like Penny is happy, so I am sure you will be to. Lots of work ahead of you, but it will be so worth it in the long run.
Glad you are home and safe. The new adventure begins. Enjoy your family and take time getting settled.
Whoohoo!~ I am so happy to read the road trip is in the rear view! Good luck with the movers tomorrow~ we had to have smaller trucks too.
I know you are thrilled to finally be in your new home. Even with all that is ahead to get the house and property into shape, you have day after glorious day of retirement to do it.
can't wait to see pictures

So glad that you and your little doggie made it safely! You must be exhausted! Take care of yourself and enjoy your retirement!
Something else to be thankful for on Thursday, you have made it safely to your new home! I'm so happy to hear it! Penny doesn't look happy at all, does she? :o) I can't wait to hear of you getting all settled in your new home and your fabulous sewing room! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
I recently traveled from Long Beach to Destin, Florida via car. I stopped in San Antonio, and then on to Lafayette before Florida. But, I'm thinking your stop in Texas may work better. I will be returning the same way in Florida. Sounds like you are in for a wonderful adventure!
