Apologies...

[Bonsai Nut]

If I seem a little distant lately, there are reasons

We just bought a new house in North Carolina. We are in the process of selling our old house in California. Then we have to negotiate the move. Meanwhile, they just closed our daughter's college campus due to coronavirus concerns (no cases - just concerns) so I had to drive up yesterday (6 hours one way) to bring her home.

Hope that the dust will settle shortly and I can get back to my trees and interacting more with the site!!

Kind of wondered where you've been. Good to hear it's nothing terrible, scary about your daughter's school though. Best of luck selling your house and the move. Thanks again for creating such a great site for all of us "nuts".

From one cost to the other, that's a big move. If you have lived in California all your life, you are in for a big surprise.

I'm originally a mid-westerner, but I have family in Raleigh and Alexandria so I am looking forward to getting back east!

What part of NC did you land in?

Sounds Great, I realized after I posted, that it may have sounded negative about your move. Did not mean that at all and figured it may be to get near family. I am in deep south Alabama and know there is a big difference here than west cost... that is what I was thinking about.

Outside of Charlotte!

I did my basic training in Alabama... Ft. McClellan! Anniston! But it's since been closed down, and now I get to watch videos on YouTube "urban exploring" the ruins

You and Adair are almost neighbors... almost. Looking forward to meeting you at a show in Kannapolis some day soon. Hope the move goes smoothly

 

[Adair M]

Charlotte is still a 3 hour drive!

Kannapolis has good bonsai shows, for sure!

the next big event in North Carolinia is the Carolina Expo in June at the NC Arboretum in Asheville.

Ahhh yes, my son's college closed face to face teaching for a month. Glad she's okay.

Congrats on the new place.

I wrote finals on 31st of December and my uni is still closed until further notice. All my part time gigs are down too.
At least I get to spend a ton of time around my trees with all these travel restrictions

Best of luck with the move @Bonsai Nut !

So how many trees are you moving to NC?

Outside of Charlotte!

I moved to Mooresville, NC, north of Charlotte with my family a week ago. Hopefully I’ll get to meet you at a club meeting before too long! My eldest daughter’s college back in Washington just went to on-line classes as well, and she’s a type one diabetic, so we are struggling with what to do for her amidst this chaos. I’ll be sending you good thoughts and hope you settle in with relative ease.

We're going to be neighbors! We just bought in Troutman!

That’s awesome! Keeping the NC bonsai contingency growing at a fast and furious pace!
