Long time no post and that is due to the fact that we moved this week. This will be short but we are so thankful that the whole process toward the end of the building a home journey went smoothly. Closing last Friday went without a hitch. We came over and picked up the keys and we dropped off a few things that we had in the back of Sequisha. Then we went and picked up our mail box assignment and keys. We headed back to the condo and began loading up the cars. Dena came over and she helped take a load out to our new home. First things first, we ate dinner then came out here. Saturday, we did the same kind of thing trying to get all the kitchen things here. For someone who doesn't cook, I have a whole lot lot of dishes and cooking type things. David and Emily came over on Saturday and Emily used her natural talents and spiritual gift of organization and she and Dena whipped my kitchen into shape. On Sunday, Roy and I brought out all our hanging clothes and then prepared for the professionals to take over on Monday.
So this week has been unpacking, waiting on deliveries, repairs, professionals and did I mention unpacking? The deliveries have gone without a hitch. Next week I just have patio and courtyard furniture deliveries and Pottery Barn on Thursday. I believe Tuesday will be the first day in a long while that will just be a day, a regular day.
We love it out here. One of my favorite things to do in the cool of the evening and yes there is a nice breeze out here that makes it feel cool, is to water the trees and landscaping. We are trying to put up a victorious fight of keeping our grass alive. We have such a small yard, we didn't think we would need sprinklers. Well, we were wrong. So, we are trying to get someone out here to give us an estimate.
We have been without TV or the Internet until today. It was kind of nice to have quiet evenings, with just the radio and a good book. Believe me, even after purging my collection, between the two of us we still have a whole lot of books. The new furniture looks nice and I really want to play with it, arranging it. But...there are more important things right now like, getting rid of boxes.
On my way in to pick up Buddy, I stopped at Bed, Bath and Beyond and did a fairly sizable damage to our home accessories budget. Stopped at Macy's and picked up a few things. Went to the Amish Craftsman to look at benches and tables. Then made a short stop at the Play Grocery store. So, right now, we know Buddy is in the house, we just don't know where. She is a bit overwhelmed by it all but hopefully, she will get used to everything soon.
