MOVIN ON DOWN THE LI

MOVIN ON DOWN THE LINE.....

RT

Well we worked until 4:30 today and then drove back to the apartment. Tonight is our last night in these digs. Tomorrow the movers are coming for the big stuff between 1:00 and 3:00 and then we will make the last haul to Lori’s new home.

We have to be completely cleaned up and moved by Tuesday so we are on schedule. No tv or internet tomorrow night. This will be our last entry for a couple of days.

Lori’s new park has about 650 homes. It is called Adobe Wells. There are two clubhouses and a therapeutic pool and spa. Rent is high and appeals to renters who can afford nicer things. Although the park is open to families I have seen largely retired folks. Jacky and I are looking forward to seeing how their activity programs run so we can get some new ideas.

It is sure nice to see both of our children doing better than we did in their lives. It is a great feeling.

Lori’s new home has a water system to keep the plants watered even though the yard is much smaller than a typical LVH home. She can park two cars in her carport area but there are several guest parking spots right across from her. Today Jacky was unpacking the kitchen and discovered the cupboards all have pull-out drawers. (kewell).. When we get home will put some pictures on for you to see.

The home is 5 years old and is pretty up to date  with all the latest innovations. She has a small front porch and the pad for carport extends into a nice patio area. I have been installing extra storage cabinets from Home Depot and put in a large storage and egg crate cabinet for shoes in the walk in closet and double clothes rods.

The 3rd bedroom has become a storage area for now but Jacky thinks we can whip it into a guest room soon.  The second bedroom is being built up as an office for Lori so she can pursue outside business interests.. Writing for catalogues (she is the PR officer for the local college) and she has an uncanny ability to sell stuff on ebay. So this office space will help support her new home.

Tomorrow we move her cats... One of them is completely psychotic and hates everyone but her and the other is a sneaky twirp who wants to get out at every opportunity.. Great phun coming... Hope to continue the saga in a couple of days.. See you then.
