And we’re off!

In a matter of seconds John (the husband), Alfred (the pug), and I are piling into the car to head home for Thanksgiving.  My hometown is San Luis Obispo, a beautiful little gem on California’s central coast.  Alfred is especially excited to see his best friend Gerald (my mom’s puggle) and I’m especially excited for pumpkin pie.  I’ll be doing sporadic posts throughout the holiday weekend (thinking of delving into my grandmother’s Jackie O. era photos to share!) so feel free to stop in and say hello.  I’d love to hear where you’re spending the holiday…??

Wishing you Thanksgiving’s best!
xx Katie

    Jeanne — That sounds fantastic!!! I’ve yet to make it to the pacific northwest (ridiculous, I know), but have heard such lovely things!

    Quintessence — I hope you have fun celebrating in CT as well! Perhaps you’ll run into my aunt or little brother at the supermarket ; ) xx
