Settling In

We're starting to settle in. The move went pretty well, thanks to a lot of help from Aaron's Burns and Mac friends. We managed to get a fair amount of painting done before moving in, but we are still working on it, and I have a feeling that we will start new rooms in the summertime, too... :-)

Aaron's parents visited two weekends ago, and that was a lot of fun. It's amazing what we were able to get done with four people working! We had a garage sale, Aaron and Jerry got a utility tub spliced into the copper plumbing, a new hose faucet installed, a refrigerator down the basement, the outside fountain to work, the dryer to vent outside rather than in the basement... on and on and on. They were crazy productive. Nora and I played in the gardens, and got a bunch of flowers and herbs planted. We filled up the windowbox on the front of the house with flowers, too, and everything looks so pretty! It's been raining for about a week now, so the gardens are looking pretty happy. All the herbs and flowers are really looking good.

So far we've gotten the dining room and our bedroom painted. We're currently working on one of the guest rooms, and it's starting to come together. They're all taking forever because the original colors were dark mauve and purple. Yikes! It takes a lot of primer to cover that!
