Settling right in

So, we made it to Lewisburg in one piece, and most of our stuff arrived in one piece. The only casualties of the move were a $4 candle plate and a chest of drawers... both from Ikea. The chest of drawers was salvaged with some expert duct taping. Unfortunately, the candle plate was too far gone, even for the powers of duct tape.

Our moving truck driver, Rod, tried to be polite about it, but I saved him the trouble by admitting that it's our own fault for buying cheap stuff.

All in all, not bad on the damage front.

Now, the nesting begins. We're making slow but steady progress unpacking. Rooms are being assembled on a priority basis. The bedroom is looking nice and cozy, thanks to those snazzy sheets from our wedding registry.


The "office" is now functional. Here you can see Eileen working hard on a Sudoku puzzle.


As you can see, the living room is low on the priority list.


And before I sign off here at the Cherry Alley Cafe (since the apartment is offline until next Friday), a shot of Eileen on the porch of the new abode, and a view of the street (and a guy with a serious snow blower) from our living room. Here comes the snow!
