TimesToCome

The library is together and is really cool looking. It has only about a third the shelf space of the previous one so we’ll have to be more selective in the books we choose to keep. We brought very few books with us so there is lots of room to fill.

The only room left to tackle is the living room. We’re thinking just some over sized chairs to flop in will work. I went around today and touched up all the paint. There is just no way to move into a house with out marking up the walls. I’ll have to get some more of that paint, they painted it with a flat paint so you know it’s going to get marked up a lot.

So there is one room left, a few odds and ends then a bit more landscaping but it’s all coming along quickly and smoothly here. I’m enjoying the sun and warm weather, I wonder if I’ll still be happy about it a month from now? I ordered a new camera so I should be able to start loading some interesting pictures soon.

We did go out on the bikes again last night. There are some seriously ritzy neighborhoods nearby. Most of the homes are just bigger, and not interesting. A few are amazing though. Huge windows every where, court yards and out door courtyards leading into the house. The lots are not much bigger than ours, the same distance is between the houses more or less. There is a gated community at the inner section of the golf course. This area is already fairly exclusive, kind of creepy some people still feel they need a fence around their neighborhood? It is also funny that the priciest homes are those closest to the golf course. Who’d want to have golf balls landing in your yard all the time?

Beginning of the house sale saga

Things are coming along here. I found parts online to fix the grill out back, but the faucet in the master bath sprung a leak today so that will have to be dealt with soon.

Kittens went to the vet and are fine. There was an interesting crowd in there this morning. We had one cat howling up a storm in the back, seems he dove?/slid? off a roof this morning. I met a woman who had just gotten back from Somalia with her 17 year old cat and two women from Australia with a lost dog, whose owner had already called looking for him.

We found a store with bookcases we like, we’ll order those this week and get a library done. It is strange not having one set up. We’ve been to busy to use one any how though I’m hoping things settle into a routine soon.
