We’ve been in our “new” place almost three weeks now. Ernie and I were given the opportunity to move to a bigger, warmer, brighter, and closer to school apartment. We said, “Yes,” of course! We’re much happier here with space to roam around in and a kitchen that works SO much better than the old apartment. We continue to have a few maintenance items on the “to do” list, such as recover all the dining room chairs that are totally disgusting (stained); have the living room furniture cleaned (stained as well); and clean the two carpets that were here–not much maintenance has been kept up! We will have someone come this week to caulk the glass windows in the living room which have gaps, fix a few of the slats in the parquet floor that keep popping up; have the hot water leak in the bathroom repaired; and then all will be well! Next Saturday night we’re hosting a soup dinner and hope to have a reupholstering party to get the dining room chairs covered before we can actually sit on them!
