I'm here in Mill Valley and I LOVE it.

The actual move was fairly strenuous. I knew I was taking too much material but was told 'take it all. And all of you know how obedient I am. We had stuff all over the place. The man from COMCAST came and spread wires throughout while the movers were still bringing more and more THINGS in. WHAT A MESS. Then Martha pleaded with the movers to begin putting things back on the truck to take to the Salvation Army or Goodwill and they willingly did just that. And finally we were alone with our mess and Martha and Jane began hiding items in the closets and under the bed, The paintings were hung, the lamps were shaded and lit and all of a sudden this place looked like home. I'm not the only one amazed by the good looks. Everyone who enters the door, is as surprised as I am.                     i have now lived in Mill Valley one week and every day I am pleasantly surprised about something. Yesterday I discovered that I have an official Buddy who will help whenever I need help. There is also a buddy number 2 but I have not yet met her. Everything that seemed crowded the first day, now looks elegant. Jane has magic hands and can shrink things so they fit in perfectly.                                         This doesn't work for me and I will have to finish and begin a blog when I am more settled. Just wanted everyone to know I am well and happy and looking forward to a new life.

I am amazed at how well you adjust to things. Mill Valley is a wonderful place, I am glad you found a home there. I hope you will be able to update us again soon. I admire you so much!

A while ago you took a blog "sabbatical" while you knot a lot of socks. I was very envious both of your knitting ability and of the people who got the socks. Now I have taught myself to knot and am slowly making myself my first pair of socks. They're just ankle length so I will be able to finish them.

I know it should be knit above, not knot, but the comment editor won't let me change it.
Knitting must be one of the best activities for keeping your brain nimble!

Best wishes,
Cass
