It's been hectic the past few days, with turning over the coach, camping out in a hotel for a couple days, closing on the condo, and finally moving in. So, we've been here since Friday, and as of yesterday are all unpacked. The move in to the condo. building was interesting. We had to park the UHaul truck on the street close to the parking garage entrance, and then haul the boxes down the steep decline into the garage, into the elevator and up 5 floors. Fortunately, we were loaned a dolly, so that helped, but with temperatures over 100 degrees, Henry got quite the workout in the3 hours it took for him to get everything in.
Fast forward through all the unpacking and decisions on where to put things, we are finally here! I think we are really going to like living here. It's quiet, it's safe, it's convenient (15 min. to Henry's job), and everyone we have met so far are all very nice.
Jack was reluctant and unsure about getting on the elevator, but by yesterday, he was feeling more comfortable with it and just walked right in. Now, he walks around like he owns the entire building. :)
We are flying our daughter out and she will be here Thursday morning. She and I will go find some furniture and other things. Right now, we are sitting on camp chairs, using a cooler for a table and watching the TV (Henry bought one over the weekend) that is perched on another cooler. In the bedroom, we are using boxes for nightstands. Kind of reminds me of days gone by.
Henry got us set up with internet yesterday, so we are on our way!

And do you have bookshelves made of bricks & unfinished boards yet? Ah, the furniture of our early 20s!!
You & Amanda should have a great time furniture-shopping. She has very good taste, judging from her website. And with Mom & Dad's money to spend...look out!
Glad to hear the move went well. I can't imagine moving boxes, etc. in those temperatures. Up here in St. Louis, we hardly even go outside, much less do anything strenuous. Hopefully we can get out of here in a few weeks.

Ahh, yes, the bricks and boards. I remember those days. It's about that bad at the moment, yes.
It should be a blast shopping. She has good ideas and fortunately thinks like her Dad, so we should be good!
