House Pictures

Here are some inside photo's of the house we are leasing in Champion Hills. We started reexamining contractors this past week, with the plan to select one by the end of next week.

First Visitors

Ed and Cindy came for a short visit this weekend. Ed was in Columbia, SC doing some remodeling work for his daughter and son-in-law, Heather and Eric. We had a nice dinner, watched the Detroit RedWings win in hockey and then went right to bed. All were tired.

Today they left around 10:00am and are driving to Detroit, MI. We will see them again at David's wedding in July.

Here are some pictures of the house and of Ed and Cindy.

Unpacking

The mover's finally made it last Friday, 2 hours late. They followed their GPS which tried to take them on the back roads. It took all day to unload the truck. Ralph would check off each box on a sheet and direct where the boxes were to go. We started to unpack boxes that night and on Saturday I got most of the kitchen out of boxes. Ralph unpacked clothes, set up the office and sorted out the basement storage room. When he's done it will be very well organized. Sunday we went to church and kept unpacking. Monday we played in a golf tournament at Champion Hills. The team I was on placed 2nd!! They were very consistent golfers and I was so nervous I paid close attention to what I was supposed to do which really helped my game. Ralph's team placed 2nd to last, but he said they had a good time. There was a party that night and we got to renew acquaintances and meet some new people. Tuesday and Wednesday more unpacking, rain all day. Golf on Thursday, Ralph with the guys and me with the ladies. My game was back to normal. Today Ralph went to a chipping clinic at the practice range and I puttered around in the kitchen, lining shelves and moving things around. We made another trip to Lowe's and now Ralph is putting together a shelving unit for the storage area. That's it for now.

New Adventure

Looks like a new adventure is about to start. I woke up dreaming of mountain laurel and golf.
