Trying to get settled.

There is lots to unpack. We pretty much just got (some of) the essentials done today. Luke slept very poorly last night but was in a good mood. Lily the cat is probably adapting better than any of us. It was a nasty, rainy day, so we didn’t go outside at all. Tomorrow I need to go on a couple of shopping expeditions. The house feels rather different with three additional inhabitants.

Moving stuff, cleaning, anticipating.

I went to Lowe’s and got paint first thing this morning. Then I went and picked up the trailer while my dad painted. We hauled two loads of stuff before it started raining. Then we moved stuff around inside. Tomorrow him and my mother will come do a little more cleaning while I drive up to get Liz and Luke. My mother and two of her friends came by today to check out the house. I feel like it is starting to look pretty good. We were working too hard to take any pictures. After calling it a day we drove up here to Nashville where my mother fixed a delicious dinner. I will try to go to bed pretty early since I plan on leaving at the crack tomorrow.

Finally off the mountain.

Well today was another disaster. They called about 4:30 to let me know that the power steering had been repaired, but when they were test driving it one of the brake calipers locked up. That wouldn’t be repaired until the end of tomorrow at the earliest. So my dad drove up here to get me, and we came to the farm, where we’ll spend the night. Fortunately we fortified ourselves with ice cream from the Goat Market before leaving town. We’ll work all day tomorrow before going to Nashville.
