Well, I have arrived safe and sound. My hosts are a bit odd. They said that it is tradition that all the voyagers they host must meet Lord Vader when they arrive. I boarded the death star. He said the force was strong in me. Here's hoping. My hosts had some reading material ready for me , so I already began to plan my trips for the time I am here. I took a tour of the house. Met a gnome named Belly. Apparently, my hosts have a garden called Gnome Hollow, with over 50 of my kind , so I will venture out when the weather clears for cocktails and a meet and greet. Going to a baseball game tonite. I have been told I will enjoy it. It apparently requires sitting on metal , eating tubular "dogs " on bread and screaming at humans in bright colors running around dirt piles. Hmm, should be interesting. More soon . Lots of Love- Nixie
