So after we spent Thursday shopping, we spent Thursday evening putting it all away or together! Hillary packed meat in meal serving sizes and labeled it all and got it in the freezer, David put things together, and Susan sat on the roof with the dog (no, not again this time!) Actually got chairs!!! So the patio was available to sit and chat, until a train went by. David put the kitchen table and bathroom storage unit together and we made a list for Friday, mainly of the number of anchor bolts needed! Called it quits about 1 with lots done, after having opened the last box--didn't necessarily get its contents dealt with but it's open! Friday, I walked down Pine st and got breakfast and David went and got anchors etc. Got the curtain rod ... read more

Well, the guys arrived with the truck. Barely made it into the loading dock, had to walk through a maze to get up here but brought it all up and put the bed together. Couches fit as hoped and the rug is the perfect size. The fold-up book shelves go great behind the couch. Hillary's working to get her clothes in the closet--LOL!... read more

Kind of lazy day for me--Hill had training at the new job, David had a last form to deliver to his school. He also rented a drill (since his tools wont be here till tomorrow) so he could put up the TV mount. I walked to the post office to mail Hill's work keys back to Bluffton, stopped by st James cathedral, and subway. Leo and I spent almost two hours up on the roof, reading (me) and chasing little lizards (Leo). Nice breeze!... read more

Well, we had decided to do something about the sorry condition of the living room carpet. We decided on wood flooring. We went to Lowe's and picked it out, signed up for them to do the labor--moving the furniture around the house, tearing up and disposing of the carpet, etc. Took forever for them to get enough of the flooring (standard stuff, not a special order) from the warehouse to the store to our house. Finally got that delivered. Made an appointment for the installers to come. However, when they did, they measured the 'moisture level' and declared it to be too high for them to be able to lay the flooring. Seems the combination of dog 'accidents' and over-shampooing to make up for it (we thought) caused the flooring to be wet. SO, Mike ended ... read more

Had a lovely Sunday with the girls and friends--grocery shopping in the morning, lunch in Savannah on the river front, then took in a Sand Gnats baseball game. Moved a couple more boxes from Hill's to Al's. Al's apartment looks west and it's very hot and bright in the evening on her porch. learned that the hard way last evening! Monday morning, Hillary gave her two-week notice at work--had a couple great interviews on Friday in Orlando and will probably have to decide between offers. Had lunch with the girls and went to Hill's to vaccuum the steps up to Al's room--covered in Leo hair!... read more
