We have bought a house...and are packing..

Since I entered anything here much has happened!

We purchased a home on an acre of land in east
Boulder.  The house is a modest concrete house
built on a slab.  The address is 239 76 St.,
Boulder, 80303.
 
The primary building on the acre is the barn-like 
structure which consists of room for 4 cars, the 
van and a shop.  The  latter area is heated and 
since they all have adjoining doors I assume all 
could be  heated, if the need arose.  When I saw 
the barn I knew it was the place for us.

The house has 3 bedrooms and a den, 2
bathrooms, a laundry room, kitchen and
living room.  The dining area is in the
middle of the kitchen.  That will take
come getting used to.

We close on the house on Thursday, May 31.

In the meantime I have been shopping for
flooring and meet with the floor person and
the paint person on Friday, June 1st.
Hopefully, the painter can start right
away.  The flooring has to be ordered and
it'll take a couple of weeks before it
will arrive.  By that time, if all goes as
hoped the painting will be done.  As soon
as the flooring is scheduled I'll be able
to arrange for the movers.

Jeanne has been here and moved mountains of
books to GoodWill and more mountains to
be recycled.  The living room book shelves
are empty; the book shelves in my office
are empty, but there are three rows of boxes
in the dining room which are full of books.

Today we picked up banker boxes to put the
contents of our file cabinets in.  I gradually
pack stuff, one box at a time..we have lots
of Nick knacks all of which must be packed.
I've made a good start on those, but still
have more to go.

And so it goes.
