Christmas Review and French Bread

French Bread

Getting back to normal

The apartment is almost done.  Just a few little things still need to be taken care of, but for the most part everything has a place and it feels like a home.  Even the kitties are getting back to their normal selves.

Everyday is a new day.  Little by little I'm unpacking and organizing.  

Putting things away and finding new homes for things I had forgotten I owned. 

Here is the Journey thus far.

 

Settling In

We found a nice apartment in a suburb of Portland. It's near enough to Alex's school that he can walk or bike.  Unpacking has been very slow since I started my new job the day after we finished unloading the U-Haul.  I'm hoping to have posts again about sewing and cooking as soon as I find all of my materials.  In the mean time here are some pictures of the new place.

The Day we drove home.

Not so early did we wake up in Vegas. We had breakfast at the Caesars Buffet.  And then had four new tires installed on the car.  Our car really doesn't like to have all of our possessions packed in it, so it eats tires.
