Questions

 
Because I've had so many questions about our move to the Yukon,
I thought I would write a post with a few of the details.
Here are just a few:
1) When are we leaving? In two weeks.
2) Are we selling our home? No, our youngest son and his new
bride will live here.
3) Is my MIL moving with us? No, she has an apartment
near her girls, as well as her camp here to visit. She will
be flying out this summer to spend some time with us.
4) Is this a seasonal job? No.
5) What type of work is it? We will be managing a camp ground,
restaurant, convience store, gas station, and small laundromat.
6) Will you still be blogging? Definitely!
I hope that answers a few of your questions. Now..........
Here is a new book I bought in Traverse City.
I just couldn't believe how cheap it was-$5.95!
I know I won't be implementing most of the techniques
written here, but I'm  still a sucker for anything titled,
Back To Basics. Are you?
Since blogger's playing nice, I thought I would share my two
other apron fabrics with you. I love the old-fashioned pattern
of this one. It reminds me of wallpaper I had in a past kitchen.
And paisley I love, even in black and white.
Today I'm joining Lisa at Two Bears Farm and Three Cubs  for Rural Thursday. And Debbie at Debbeidoo's Newbie Graduation Party. Many of you, like myself, have received a lot of advice from Debbie and help getting started in blogdom land. A big 'Thank You' from me!!

Blessings-Kimberly

  3. Kimberly,

    2 weeks and your moving, you must be excited. The move and managing a camp ground, restaurant, convenience store, gas station and laundromat sounds wonderful. I bet you will be seeing more wildlife up there than where your at now.
    I love the material you picked out to make aprons or blouses. Have a great day.

  4. That will be so much fun, you will meet so many people and have so many animal friends coming to visit too, I'm sure. It will be great blog post material and the title of your blog will still work! - Love your apron material, I need to make a few for myself also. xo

  32. Congratulations on the big move, Kimberley! The Yukon is definitely a place I'd like to visit. I'm a MI native and have been to Superior many times. Gorgeous country in its own right!

  33. Kimberly, I admire your pluck and spirit of adventure to head off to the Yukon. I'd do it too, given the chance, but DH is past that stage and needs closer medical care. (sigh)
    Is your location on the grid or off? We saw plenty that were off when we traveled that way the summer of 2008.

    I've followed along sporadically, but with this move, I'll be settling in for the duration and look forward to all the new experiences.

  34. Hi Kimberly...I enjoyed scrolling through some of your posts...a great family and a great blog! Good luck with your move...very exciting to say the least!

    Have a great weekend~

  35. WOW! What an exciting adventure; I wish you all well.
    I'm headed to Alaska in June; perhaps our paths will cross.

  36. Oh boy...time to plan a road trip to go camping. How fun would that be if you got drop-ins from bloggy land.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I am SO excited for you! I can't wait until you start blogging about Alaska....if you need a helper just let me know! LOL! I guess I'll wait to send you what I wanted to send you since I can't seem to find it now! AHHHH!!! That's what happens when I clean....now I can't find anything. That'll teach me! Send me your new address when you land so when I do find it I can send it on.
    Yes...I am a sucker for anything that says "back to basics"...I sit and read those type of books while my dishwasher runs and my washing machine and my robotic vacuum does my work for me! LOL!
