Moving In

Next day after we moved in the tractor trailer came along to try and deliver our belongings but could not make it up the icy drive. Moving in middle of winter is no fun and it was not exactly the way we planned it but here we were trying to get into our new house at the beginning of the year and so we tried to make the best of it. The truck pulled in between two houses at the side of ours and eventually our belongings were unloaded and so began weeks of putting away, finding room for it all in bedrooms without closets and shelves that we're use to. It was a challenge and it is still because we're use to so much, so many things that we truly don't need. I can see this now just in personal care products like shampoo and hair products, creams etc. Do we really need all that? Probably not. In 1800s people lived before more simply and yet they survived. They didn't have the half of it and life moved on so let's see if we can try something along the same lines. As I use up the many soaps and creams I have I will try to replace one maybe two and see if I can indeed live without the extras I'm use to.

The stunning dining room that is one of the highlights of this wonderful home.

The Yellow Blair House dishes that came with the house.

Beautiful.
