No More Field Trips!

Andrew made that proclamation as we were parking at the B&B after dealing with movers and boxes.

Friday.
Furniture arrived. All seems to be accounted for except a small patio table that I was going to use in the kitchen until an appropriate quaint antique bistro set can be acquired. I thought I was buying a bigger house. Why does it seem like I have MORE stuff and LESS space in this home? The renovations are about 80% complete. The guys will be back next week to finish up. It is going to be wonderful. Even taking a wee break sitting on the couch amongst the chaos of boxes and haphazardly placed furniture, it feels right. It feels like home. We are exhausted. After an early dinner, we will be early to bed once again to start the major unpacking tomorrow. Dad arrives early evening, and all must be "Dad proofed" before leaving for the airport. Glad I put that bathroom downstairs. Just have to clear a path.
Andrew had a blast playing with Ben & Harry next door. They have "cool" toys. Grass is always greener.... He "helped" check off numbers on the bingo paper as the movers brought in items and boxes. We tested the new microwave by making popcorn. The new dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer have all been tested also.
Natasha seems to be settling in nicely. She and the resident ghost has a fun night last night. I was worried leaving her alone for the night. Ghost was good to make introductions yesterday afternoon.
Mom's voice is still raspy and now her throat is getting soar. Andrew is having sneezing fits and runny nose. I'm just becoming narcoleptic. Guess it's time to find the nearest drugstore. Gotta love these old houses. Even the ones recently renovated. Actually, though, there is still tons of dust. Also, it was 70 degrees here today. Lovely day say the natives.
Hope to have great news for ya'll tomorrow after we get the majority of the 100+ boxes unpacked.
nite-nite
