FINALLY! We are not all the way moved in yet...ok so there is no furniture, no towels or kitchen items, only a few clothing items...but our Christmas tree is up, the cats are back home, and I have been sleeping there for two nights now (on a sleeping bag on the floor). Don't care. It feels like home and I LIKE IT.
Everything is freshly cleaned and painted, new carpet is installed, and the bathrooms are ALMOST done. I have almost everything I need. All that's left is for Jim, Beth, Woody and Bunny to come home, and for us to introduce our new kitten to her new home! Ok, and then unpack 100 or so boxes of stuff that is right now located in a POD on our driveway. We'll get there.
This did make for a most wonderful Thanksgiving! Beth made a vegetarian dinner - green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberries and home made pecan pie! Yes, Jim and I did ruin the vegetarian theme by putting turkey gravy on the mashed potatoes :-) A good time was had by all, and it was nice to spend a peaceful and thankful day together.
And today, we met Molly, Jamie and Molly's 'friend' Brandon for lunch at Trucadero's in Milwaukee. Haven't seen Molly since vacation in August, haven't seen Jamie since her birthday in September, and have never seen Brandon before. So that was like icing on the cake, and just made the whole week more memorable.
Now I know why it's called "Thanksgiving!"
