How's the "Move In' coming?

   It's coming along, but thanks for asking.  The guest bedroom is finished and made up, ready for guests.  (That makes my wife happy.)  We decided to paint it the same color, Yellow, as the guest room in our Eugene house.  It is a bright and cheery color that we both like.
   Today I donated our desk to the Kiwanas Retail store.  It was a nice one, but way too big and clunky for our small bedroom/den.  Our new house has a small built-in desk in the kitchen area so we will be using it a lot.  Speaking of our new house, it's getting there.  The two bedrooms are done, the den is mostly done.  ( Too many books) The family room and living room are closer to being done.  The big question is how to arrange the furniture/ where to put things.  Some of our furniture will fit nicely, others will be more a challenge.  My wife is a sentimentalist so getting rid of anything is difficult.  " Aunt Mary gave this to me when I was five."  or some such thing.  Memories are attached to many items we possess for no other reason.
   I put an add on Craigslist to give away moving boxes and the telephone rang in less than 15 minutes.  Craigslist is an amazing tool.  Atfer they have been loaded we are headed to Costco to purchase some shelving for the garage so that we can empty the storage unit.  That will be another milestone.
