Rambling about adjusting to a new house

Well - we are finally in the new house.
We have slept there for about a week...
We have also cooked there, cried there, argued there,
cut the grass there, spilled there, the dog has teeteed there, we laughed there, had an accident involving alarms there!(more about that later)

So - I guess it is becoming home?!

Today was a really big day - we got our TV, phone and Internet hooked up - hoorah!

Other new home ramblings...
we had to get a new home phone number (we had our old one for 24+ years!)
our mail is still not arriving,
I am still not clear what day is garbage pickup?

So far the neighbor to the left is very nice,
the neighbor to the right asked me to stop hammering the other night at
9 pm cuz I was keeping her awake!
the neighbor across the alley has 4 little dogs!?

I have buffalo grass/turf in my front yard, and
I have sprinkler system for the first time but don't know how to use it?

There is a really good Chinese restaurant just around the corner,
the grocery store acrss the street is expensive but the people are very nice
(almost too nice)

I rode my bike on the bike path early yesterday morning -

and finally I now can get to work in 13 minutes, from our old place it usually took 1 hour!

Douglas,

You will love that area--it was our old stomping grounds. Also, try the take home and bake pizza please by the Tom Thumb-it's good!

Enjoy your new digs!!
