Nothing left to do, but unpack.....

We signed the final papers for our Cleveland house on Saturday and the title will transfer this Wednesday. Soon a new family will occupy the house we used to call home. Our house sold in 25 days, we are blessed! Now all that money I set aside for house payments can be spent on ceiling fans, a new washer (and get rid of "# 4") a vent-free gas fireplace and a Re-Bath shower make-over for the master bathroom. Need a new shower? Thought of going to Home Depot or Lowes for a DIY shower kit? Don't! Call Re-Bath instead. You'll save time and money, not to mention the beauty of the finished product. I can't say enough good things about the company and their products.

Anyway, I still have about 20 boxes in my basement to unpack. A lot of them were still packed from the last time we moved. Old toys and nick knacks that would yield a tidy profit at a garage sale. Last week I hung some pictures and rearranged my closet. It seems the more room you have the more you need and I wondered where all it all came from. An extra 200 square feet and one less person in the house and I'm struggling to find a place for everything. Good thing we have no immediate plans (or at least I don't, Nick would disagree) for the basement, the catch all place until we need it or store it. So far we can still use and walk around the pool table. When I start using it for storage Nick will come up with a plan to utilize the attic.

Today I have to venture out and grocery shop. I'll travel to Grove City, 20 minutes one way, to Giant Eagle. We have a Kroger store that's closer, but I have to visit the post office as well. I don't have a Kroger card yet and really don't want to stand in the customer service line and fill out the form that resembles a credit card application. The drive to Grove City isn't that bad, even with the 50 to 55 MPH speed limit. Horse farms and corn fields, a canoe park and satellite dishes, new construction developments along side century old homes and farms. It's really quite beautiful, like time stood still.

Housework, cooking and maintaining my blog. It's comforting to be back in a normal routine again. Pictures will be forthcoming as soon as I get more "stuff" in it's place. Right now, it's still a little disorganized and I'm still "discovering" the house.
