Yesterday we closed on the house but with no furniture, it was not
possible to stay there. We've been at my son's house for a few days,
but left this morning.today. cable/internet was installed, refrigerator
delivered, bed for spare room delivered.

So this morning, I had what we needed for a memorable meal. Yes. coffee
and tea, and toast with PB&J. Certainly won't be forgotten!

Two trips to the store so far for all the things we need but could not
carry. One trip was all hard good, second trip a combination with some
foods and staples.

Next couple of weeks will be busy with things like shades, outdoor
furniture, and a new Napoleon grill.

And you'll probably make a few more trips before you get everything you
need.

And while doing all those new chores you'll probably need nothing more
than a sweater or very light jacket while outside.

Enjoy and keep us updated on your progress.

Careful, you might get Elvis Presley syndrome and we all know how that
ended!

(Heart attack on a plate.) But peanut butter on toast is heavenly
especially when that p. b. gets warm and gooey.

Kudos on the memorable PB&J toast. Here's hoping you get settled in
very soon! Moving is a PITA but it surely is the best way to declutter.
It's nice you were able to stay at your son's house for a few days
rather than in a hotel.

I see you have your priorities straight. Cable/internet up and
running. Yes, you can connect to RFC. Heh. If you hadn't told us I
doubt we'd have known you were in the process of moving. No major
internet interruptus!

I have peanut butter (no jelly or jam) on toast for breakfast a couple
of times a month. It's filling and yes, the PB gets all warm and gooey.

Regarding Elvis, the legend is he liked fried PB and banana sandwiches,
possibly fried in bacon grease. That could have been expanded to
include bacon *on* the sandwich. No one really knows. It made for good
tabloid fodder when he died.

Yes, that sounds good. I'm not sure about the addition of jelly/jam,
though. Too many somethings spoil the something.

Congratulations! Enjoy yourselves getting set up.

Thanks, it will be fun getting things in place. Once out stuff gets
here I'll be busy for some time unpacking.

I know the scenario oh so well, in my first 14 of marriage I moved 11
times. I am a dab hand now at doing it but don't intend to move from
this condo, except in my box!

Are you waiting for your old furniture to be delivered or are you
starting getting all new stuff?

During university and the first few years we were married we moved at
least once a year. One year a deal fell through and we moved three
times. We moved into this house and have stayed put. I really hate moving.

Both. We did get some new things but the bulk is existing stuff. We
gave away a lot, trashed a lot and are still probably bringing more than
we need. In the same house for 37 years you accumulate a lot of "stuff".

Tell me about it. These days I am more likely to go through the house
and round up stuff to take to the dump than to go out and buy more stuff.

I lived in my last apartment for 12 years. When I moved I rented a
dumpster. There was a neighbor I'd never actually met who was literally
taking things out of the dumpster. He knocked on my door and said he
wanted to come inside to see what else I had. What? NO. That was weird.
