a pleasant sort of chaos

We are in that funny stage of moving where there is no room to sit anything on any surface yet without moving something else. A bit tiresome at times, but overall we are enjoying seeing our things again and helping them find their new home in our new home. By golly, we almost have a functioning kitchen! I went to 2 great new places, a shop around the corner called "Greenspaces" and a kitchen store downtown called "Chefworks." Definitely will be returning to both.

Among yesterday's accomplishments:
-installing a new retractable clothesline in the backyard
-designing a pot rack for over the stove out of odds and ends and hanging it
-finding a beautiful wooden dish drainer
-posting our empty boxes on craigslist "free" site for the next desperate movers to use
-beginning the process of stocking staples in the kitchen

My dish cupboard has those darling cup hooks in it, just the right number for my white tea cups. And there are 2 cutting boards which pull out of the cabinets. I love discovering the old house details, complete with lots of hooks everywhere: my favorite!

It is s'posed to be around 70 today, more of the same happy puttering for me. This afternoon Rich will play his new course for the same time with a group of guys he has met there. I checked the distance to the beach from our house yesterday: just about a mile. Smiling broadly!
