Getting back to you...

Bryan and I have been busting things out here. We've been really struggling with making our new place a home, as you do after a move, and the sleeper sofa this morning was a big plus. We found it at a garage sale down the street and actually wheeled it to our house on a dolly. Way too easy for our comfort because we like to have to rent trucks to drive to the other side of Atlanta to buy something we don't really like. Cheap and down the street just doesn't seem right. Just kidding, we're thrilled.

Bryan is on a roll! He has moved several things that have been lying around and bugging me up to the attic for now, raked half of the front yard because it hasn't been done in a few years and is really just a 2 inch layer of pine needles and ivy, and is cleaning out the carport as I write this. Me? Obviously, I'm sitting on my butt playing with the computer. Really, I have half the house swept and picked up and dinner half way made. We're having company tonight. Father Eric. We'll see how this goes. We've become rusty entertainers since the days of the pink house. How do you make people feel comfortable if you can't chain smoke on the back porch and jam with guitars and harmonies? At least Fr. Eric is an Indiana boy, so we could possibly relate on a Midwestern level. Anyway, I've been lazy, and the house has gotten gross lately. It's a good thing that we have company coming or we'd still be sitting on our tushies wasting another great weekend.

As far as the house becoming a home, we still need to do some painting, more furniture purchases, hang pictures, and I'm going to reupholster our dining room chairs. Easier thought than done because I have a million staples to pull out! I just have to remind myself that it's an investment in the future because the next time I want to change the look of the dining room, it will be much easier! So, you are still more than welcome to come visit us because we miss our friends and family. Love to you!
