1. I have missed baking. Today I made both a rhubarb strawberry crisp and rhubarb cookies. The only problem is I am the only one in the house. 
2. If you are able to keep up with me and what is going on in my life you are amazing. Remember when I was moving to Texas? And it didn’t happen? Then remember I was moving to Alabama? And it kind of happened but not really? Well now I am moving to North Carolina. Yep. Our house in Mason City has a contract on it and things are moving right along for a closing date here in late July. This past weekend Chris and I put a contract on a house in North Carolina. Now I never say things are a done deal until all the money has changed hands and all the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed but it looks like it is going to happen. We basically were able to choose where we wanted to live because Chris is not tied to a certain location and just needs to be close to an airport. Kind of like retirement. But not.
3. Buddy and Holly are going to go live with their “Uncle” Aaron in Raleigh during the transition time. I got kitty valium today as I do not look forward to driving 2 full days with cats in the car meowing pitifully.
4. My good friend Jeni from JeniEats is also moving –to St. Louis. Two of the original North Iowa Bloggers are moving on and out of Iowa. We have a bucket list of things to do before we move and we are calling it our #FarewellTour2015. I am ticking things off. I am going to really miss this group. A lot.
The Many Faces of the North Iowa Bloggers
5. Today I got my teeth cleaned, got a goodbye hug from my dentist, had a plumber come to check the sump pump, jumped in for a bit on a Twitter chat, had the buyers’ realtor come to take room measurements, did some baking, took my Subaru in for its first oil change and tire rotation and I started cleaning out dressers and my closet. The rain came and went and the sun is shining. What’s going on in your world?
