Checking in

Well, I've fallen behind in my blogging spirit, but this next week is going to make up for it.  I'm onto my next housesitting gig in Marshall, California.  It's on the other side of Tomales Bay.  Marshall is quiet, not necessarily a destination, but certainly worthwhile if you do so choose.  It's most famous for its dairy farms including Strauss.  The home I find myself all alone in, not even a cat or a dog to keep me company is that of Ingrid Noyes.  I won't really get to know her since she is gone the week I'm here.  But, you can certainly tell a lot about a person from their natural dwelling space.  She likes music, clearly.  She has a piano, several different stringed instruments and a bongo.  Along with an extensive instrument collection, her house hovers over Tomales Bay.  I've never had the opportunity to live in such a place.  The constant stirring of the water below my feet is both soothing and discomforting, natural and extraordinary.  It's hard to say if I will get a peaceful night's rest with the water underneath.  But, in all it's "scariness" it really is a spectacular experience living on Tomales Bay.  Although I'm not a well seasoned traveler, living on Tomales Bay is one of the most beautiful places a human being can dwell.

I'll be sure to update on exactly what I've been doing the past week or so in another post.  Just thought I would say hello.
