The New House

Hello....it's Wednesday almost noon and I thought I would upload pictures of the house before I went to Kelsey's school and bought her PE Uni. Yeah, she needs one too apparently.

I went around snapping pictures of the house, but keep in mind that it's EMPTY.

This is the kitchen and yes I know it's a mess. I did clean it yesterday for the grand entry of the new kitchen table. For those of you who haven't read my facey page, I broke the table before I even got to sit at it. I wasn't patient in waiting for Mike to get home and the table is solid wood and heavy. Marty wasn't quite strong enough to hold up his end...and we cracked a leg. We kind of "fixed" it and I am at it right now. It's on my list to call and get a new table leg.....along with a new book on how to gain patience.





These are pictures on the oustide of the kitchen area. We don't actually have a yard (and yes, Mike is happy). It's more of a courtyard type of thing. There are flowering plants everywhere, so I can not wait until Spring is finally here. The camelia's have been beautiful and the roses are starting to grow new shoots, so it's close.

Off of the kitchen is a pretty big living room. It has a balcony off of it which is also off of the master bedroom. Right now the living room is the warmest room with the fireplace, so you will notice the blow up mattresses. Did I mention that our furniture might come next week? I mean I love my kids, but when you have no privacy because there is no where to sit except on your blow up bed or the toilet....After about 5 it gets pretty chilly because it's damp (and there's no furniture to warm the place up), so we tend to all huddle in one spot. Wonder how long it will take for that book to come in? PS-Aren't those curtains just the bomb??!

Master Bedroom and off of the balcony.





Did you notice the matching curtains to the living room? Dang, I am SO lucky to have circa 1960's yellow flowered HUGE curtains in my bedroom. Come on, I know you are jealous.

Lastly, are the driveway pictures. One going down where you can see my Disco at the end and one heading up. Then I saved the best picture for last....my laundry room. Well, it's actually just a bedroom. But on the days it rains, I have to have somewhere to hang our stuff.....

Maybe I should have put a rush on that book.

Actually the house is beautiful and has plenty of room. And the best part is that it's a very very short walk to the water and pubs.

Coming Up: Will we get our furniture next week and my experiences with the health care system so far.
