Moved to St. Louis, MO

Hi all,

I have just moved to St. Louis, Missouri, from California. Nothing is unpacked yet, and I don't know when I'll be ready to paint again, with everything I have to do. I thought I'd drop by the forum and say hi while I have a moment.

California to Missouri - what a big change!

I grew up in St. Louis from 5th grade on. And, had an apartment there from 95-99, meaning that part of the birth of SOG was there (and Florida, I had 2 places for a while). I suppose it's quite cold right now, but I miss St. Louis!

Hi Chuck and I hope St. Louis will be good to you! I emailed you a while ago, let me know if you didn't get it.

Hi Chuck - how exciting!

We lived in St. Louis (well, U. City) from '91 until '96. What a change that'll be from California! The winters there can be like a roller coaster, 3 days really mild then 3 days REALLY cold-- there was one spell when we lived there where it was so cold that they said on the news you could take a fresh cup of tea outside and toss it in the air and it'd all be ice before it hit the ground... course I tried it, and it was true!

Hope you love it there!

Hi Chuck,

Congrats on the move. I'm a firm believer in fresh starts in new places. I must, because I have moved 25 times and have lived in 5 different states since my college days. HA!

Speaking of which, I'm moving BACK to California in FIVE weeks!

Take care and I hope you find everything within the first TWO boxes when looking for your stuff!

Thanks for all your good wishes. It is a big change; on my first day here the high temperature was 22 degrees F (-5 C) with a stiff breeze. I had always thought of scarves and gloves as fashion accessories, but am finding out they are necessities of life. However, two days later it had warmed to 54 F.

Linda, the last email I remember getting from you was in September, regarding the painting of the young woman with the motorcycle. I thought I had replied to it. If there was any later email, I must have missed it.
