janet Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Of course Celeste is much too nice to complain, but I was afraid that she was getting bored sitting home so much, so I took her out to visit one of our local wineries. She enjoyed it, and if there's time I'll take her out to see others, but it was hot day today and she was also glad to get home to a cool bath. More pics in my gallery.

janet Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Celeste and I took a little trip into San Francisco yesterday. I had to make it a quick trip because yesterday was the day that my husband had decided to start painting the house, and we needed to be home in time to help. Celeste thought that Greenleafers might be interested in pictures of handsome Victorian houses :o so we stopped and took pictures of Postcard Row and some of the neighboring homes. Then we went to see the Golden Gate Bridge. I remember seeing Molly's picture in front of the Sydney Opera House and thinking how enormously cool that was. I knew ever since then that if I ever hosted a traveler, we'd have to pose in front of the Golden Gate Bridge - not everybody has such an iconic landmark in their backyard - it felt like a duty - LOL. Anyway, the best place for pictures of the bridge is at Fort Point, so we went there. :lol: And of course, Celeste was able to visit with the lady who knew her grandparents. She got some great info which she will post in her blog Then we rushed home to help with the painting. It was a hot day and at the end of it we were too tired to post. Lots of pictures in my gallery.

beyondbaffled Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I cannot wait to show Celeste my Portland Foursquare dollhouse! And introduce her to Emma, too! I can't wait for Celeste to meet Emma as well! I'd love to see new pics of our dear friend Emma Then we went to see the Golden Gate Bridge. I remember seeing Molly's picture in front of the Sydney Opera House and thinking how enormously cool that was.

janet Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thanks Sherry and Jess, I'm glad you like the pictures. It's almost time for Celeste to move on, and I'm already anxious to see what comes next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Celeste and I managed to sneak out this morning to visit another tasting room, then she went with me too Lowe's. I had to buy more paint for the house, and while the nice man was mixing the paint, Celeste enjoyed wandering around the store. I have e-mailed Shelly to be sure that she is ready, and when I hear from her Celeste will be on her way to Beautiful British Columbia. Pics in my gallery.

janet Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Celeste is getting excited about the next leg of her journey. I told her not to pack until I heard back from Shelly, but we did throw a going away party for her; she enjoyed that! :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janet Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi Shelly, I got your email and have responded. Unfortunately, tomorrow is a crazy day for me at work - I probably won't get home until 8:00, but I will make sure that Celeste is in the mail on Wednesday without fail! :wub: She is very excited; she has been researching your town on Wikipedia and is anxious to see it in person. (and I'm anxious to see pictures! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Okay, Celeste is in the mail and on her way to Canada! The folks at the post office told me six to ten business days. I'm glad she's got something to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexyfeet Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Celeste arrived today safe and sound!! She tells me the trip was good but long and tiring so once she settled in she decided to take a much needed nap. We wont be doing much this evening so Celeste will have a chance to rest, however her adventures in Canada begin first thing tomorrow morning as we have many plans for her. Stay tuned for info and pictures!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Glad she made it ok..they didn't search her luggage, did they, at the border? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Yeah! So glad to hear that she made it. ;) I hope that you have a lot of fun. P.S. You've probably noticed that Celeste had an injury while she was here :wub: - I made her a macrame choker to conceal the scar - but I'm sure that you'll treat her gently.

Rhonda Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 ok I thought Celeste was coming to my house and then to Shellys? I guess I must have missed something I have been through all the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexyfeet Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm sorry Sara, I did send you an e-mail when she arrived and I checked it didn't bounce back at me so I'm not sure what happened there!! We are having a fabulous time visiting with Celeste, we have been on a number of outings with her so stay posted as I will be posting lot's of pictures soon!! Celeste has been filling me in on all of the wonderful places she has seen on her adventure, she is a very lucky girl to have met so many wonderful people!! Today is my day off from work so Celeste and I are planning on spending the day doing some work on the Beacon Hill and I am going to make my first attempt at sculpting a doll, which she has very generously offered to help me with!! I will be taking lots of pictures of the process, so hopefully it goes well, stay tuned!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexyfeet Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Okay, I have been trying to upload pictures from my camera to my computer all morning and am having no luck!! I have no idea what I am doing wrong ugh!!!! :groucho: Anyway just wanted to let everyone know that Celeste is having a wonderful time on all of her adventures here in Canada. We spent the entire day yesterday out and about taking pictures of the area, and she is so excited to share them all with you. I will keep working on trying to upload these pics, however I'm not sure I will have much luck with it until my DH gets home from work to help me with it. Keep checking in hopefully there will be some pics to enjoy later this evening!! As you can probably tell, I am not very good with this computer stuff!!
