A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

I finally got the silly slideshow gadget to work (I hope!) so that you can see pics of the new house. There's even a pic of me painting the bedroom. It was a nasty, khaki green color. (Who paints a bedroom khaki green?) Now, with a lot of blood, sweat and tears -- mostly sweat -- it is a very pale shade of pink. I'll take some more pics tomorrow once the paint's dry and add them to the slideshow.
I've learned a lot about painting over the last couple of days. First, I learned that the right tools make all the difference. I learned that a little help makes a big difference (thanks, Stephanie!). I've learned that painting a single room takes at least 2 to 3 days, especially if the humidity is high. But most of all, I've learned that I'm not cut out to be a painter! Boy, it's a good thing that I have a Master's degree to fall back on. :-) The rest of the house, Judy will have to paint! OK, OK - we'll hire painters. (Judy's not cut out for painting either!)
Our things arrive from storage on Monday. The furniture will be moved from the apartment in early September. That will give us time to have the hardwood floors at the house re-finished. So things are coming along nicely, slowly, but nicely.
Take care! We miss you all lots and lots! Drop us a line to let us know what's up in your corner of the world.

Cool, I'm the first to post. I love what I've seen from the slideshow. Can't wait to see it in person!
