Wishing you happiness in your new/temp home, and a great year, whatever follows it. I’m sure there will be moments when you realize the thing you want is on the other coast, but how nice not to have to take apart the entire old home at once!
I’ve never been there, or to the NW US, but your style report sounded much like I expected, until I got to the designer bags and the brakes screeched. Is that with the tennies and athliesure described just before it? How surprising!
I’m guessing fall will be less mucky than you’re used to. June being cooler there makes sense-it’s the moderating effect of the water.
Gaylene, I saw much the same thing in Tampa when temps dipped into the 50s or 60s—some people still in their shorts, probably with a sweatshirt or light jacket, others in full-on winter gear, complete with scarves, boots, etc.
