Day 127: Triggers

I began by taking my loaded car to the new place this morning to unload.  I think by the end of this week I will be pretty much set minus the big furniture.  Here you see my new grill and my bistro set with the tablecloth I bought in Provence.  It is so fun to take out those little souvenirs and start using them.  I love to have little reminders of my trips around me.

My condo reminds me of Europe in a way.  It is kind of silly, but my door is one of those triggers.  Each door to the apartments we have rented in Europe had a little trick to getting them open.  My door has the same.  I have to turn the key in the opposite direction that I turn the door.  Also, I have to turn the knob to the left to leave.  The other trigger is my toilet.  It has a European look to it.  The next time I go over I'll take a picture to show you.

Day 121: New Digs

What you see here is my new home.  I am very excited to call this place my home and I'm really looking forward to the amenities at this place.  One of the things I am looking forward to most is my "creativity room."  It is fun to have something new to plan and think about.  Here are some pictures of my new hacienda.

Other good news today: they went in to look at my grandmother's arteries and everything is clear.  She is back home tonight.  They still don't know what was causing the chest pain, but a bad heart is not to blame.  Thank you whoever is watching out for us up there.
