The next community-wide Porch and Yard Sale is coming up next Saturday, March 6, from 8am to 3pm. We were surprised by how many people (both buyers and sellers) participated in the last one. Now that we have a house and have updated our furniture, this should be a timely opportunity to unload some of our crap treasure.
According to a posting on the internal web forum, Shannon’s has negotiated to acquire the space currently occupied by HQ For Men (the haircut place next door). Grats to Ken and Susan. We love Shannon’s and look forward to additional indoor eating space!
Turned 36 today. We’re still settling in to our new East Village house, so much of my birthday consisted of unpacking boxes and doing laundry, but I’m OK with that, as we now live in our dream house.
We were able to step away for an hour or so — sans baby — to grab some sushi at Seito, which was a nice break.
Tomorrow? More unpacking, perhaps a trip to Lowe’s, and a visit to the Farmers Market.
Guess who went from Celebration renter to Celebration owner yesterday morning?
Yep, we’ve moved! It was about the shortest move you can make — across a park, past some condos, and 4 houses — and yet, that didn’t make it all that much simpler. It seems whether you’re loading a dresser onto a truck to drive it 1 mile or to drive it 50, it ends up weighing about the same.
We’ve been blessed to find a house here in Celebration that we can afford AND meets our needs. Believe me, it wasn’t easy. We made our offer in late July, and it finally closed on Feb 8. We were lucky in that the previous owners treated the house with the care it deserves, so it was move-in ready. We were literally moving in our stuff within an hour of closing, no painting or deep-cleaning necessary.
Now begins the process of turning this house into a home. There are many boxes that stand in the way.
