Moving: Val's New Apartment and Other Tales of Moving

Just a side note, here it is the second day of August and it is raining.  It rained yesterday.  And the day before.  And the day before and the day before.  We are so wet the ground is soggy and a neighbor's big tree has fallen.  

At least it is good for my new trees and our grass.  Unless they drown.  

I digress.

The big news is that of all the people moving around, Val is the first one to get settled.  

Val is going to live in a one bedroom apartment in a building with a doorman.  I wonder if he will be like Carlton the doorman.  Anyway, the building wanted reference letters so Amy wrote one for Drew and Val.  (That Esquire after her last name is good for lots of stuff!!!) And, they let Val in!!!!!!!

Day 1 ~ before the cleaning.  What a great window!!!!!!

The view from the front door

Pretty good kitchen ~ will it ever really be used??????

Dining and work table ~ LOVE the carpet and the chairs, actually everything!

This is so cool!

Again, love the window ~ I wonder what direction it is looking?

Are there two bathrobes for this hotel?????

The bathroom, which was redone prior to Val moving in.

I did ask a certain knucklehead for a picture.............this is the before....

And the certain knucklehead gave me an after.  What is not to love?

Nancy said that she and Drew and our sweet knucklehead spent 3 days getting the apartment "Val ready" ~ I really think they succeeded!!!!!!! When can I move in?????

And, on our home front, Jane is having things sent to the house in preparation for her move into an apartment at Elon:

I think it is all very exciting!!!!

Much love,
