I spent almost a month in San Diego, and there was a lot going on! My sister drove out with me and stayed for a few days in Ocean Beach. She was celebrating a big milestone birthday AND retirement! The weekend started with a pumpkin carving party and some drink IVs. We made two different…
After all the high maintenance and drama of the past two sits, I was very happy to sit for a very cute, low maintenance, happy little kitty kat. My daughter flew in for the weekend so we got to take in some fun sights! First up was the Sunset Kayak Bat tour. We paddled out…
I arrived early in Asheville anxious to see my new place. This sit was also in a rural area, also in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In fact, the “Skyway Drive” that I never made it up to in Virginia connects to the “Blue Ridge Parkway” which is just up the road here. My very welcoming…
The next stop on my housesit adventure was a place in the middle of Virginia, near Shenandoah National Park. This was not a great sit, and I’ve been debating how much to say. I’ll just preface this with a disclaimer: This is just MY opinion, and not fact. And, I’m sure other sitters may have…
My next housesit was in Framingham, just outside of Boston. I’ve been to Boston many times over the years, so I didn’t even go into town this trip, just hung out with the kitties and my family, which includes some of my favorite little people. My hosts had a beautiful house with a vegetable garden…
I had one stop in Abq, where I was welcomed with a pizza & rum party with the fam! One night, and then had to leave early for my next sit. In Phoenix. In August. WHY ? It was a quick 3 day sit in between Phoenix and San Diego. I stayed inside all day…
After Boise, I traveled down through Utah enroute to Colorado. I stopped at the Great Salt Lake, and uh, yeah, it was a great big lake. Big & stinky and very hot. I had never seen it before, and now I have, so.. cool. To be fair, I got there mid afternoon and it was…
It was another quick and pretty drive from Walla Walla to Boise. My sit was located near downtown, a few short blocks to shops and restaurants and breweries, a perfect location. My first adventure was getting my windshield repaired. My brand new windshield was attacked by flying debris (no, not my sister). But insurance covers…
The drive from Portland to Walla Walla was gorgeous, all along the Columbia River. Great views of Mt. Hood sticking up out of the clouds. I was amazed at how many dams there were along the route. It is a big ass river and I guess you’ve got to keep it under control, and hey…
I took some time to drive up from San Diego to Portland, so I make a few stops along the way. First stop was in Clear Lake, CA. It was a beautiful spot, but apparently I was on the ‘bad side’ of the lake. I found a very cute, inexpensive motel, right across the street…
