Six Months

Today is the sixth month anniversary of our moving day. I still remember the details of that day and the days around it. They were intense. So many boxes. So much confusion. 

We didn't have to do anything with the condo itself. But we didn't bring a lot of furniture--we've slowly been taking care of that. Just Thursday, two dressers were delivered. By the end of the month, we'll have a dining room set and a coffee table. 

We're getting there.

Closing Out March

Last week we visited Jeff's sister in North Carolina. We drove down on Monday, and were glad we got to spend more time with her than expected. We also visited with Jeff's other sister, our brother-in-law, and niece. We even met our three-year-old great niece. 

The visit was intense and tiring. The return trip was horrible, taking about two hours longer than normal. We picked up Jace from our friends' Thursday evening. It had been our first trip without him. It was nice knowing that Jace was happy to to stay with our friends. 

Traveling without a dog made things much easier. For one thing, we stayed in a hotel that wasn't pet friendly. It was just okay, but was in a great location. Every place we needed to visit was within a mile. 

Once home, I vegged for most of the weekend after I stocked up on food and wine. Laundry was also involved. I discovered that TCM's Star of the Month was George Brent. More on that later.
