Sunlight and shadows

sunshine and shadows
This picture sort of sums up our mornings right now. The sun is so bright through our family room windows that you need sunglasses on and a hat to function in that room. The good thing is the view from that window shows you the whole Salt Lake Valley; it's very pretty at night to see all the twinkling lights. This is a picture from our new home -- not everything is in its place yet, but it is getting there. In time we will cover those windows; we're still moving.

We have about 20%-30% of our stuff left to move; the goal is to do that Saturday. The only yucky part is that it is lots of china, china cupboards, and an armoir that are left to move, and everything is very heavy. I have already been to the chiropractor twice during this move and will go again tonight. I'm not complaining; the house we are moving into is lovely. We will need to put a yard in, but I think it will be a nice place. One big plus is thatI have a sewing room that might actually be big enough to have me and my supplies in it at the same time. The way my day goes right now: wake up at 5:00 a.m., un-box, un-box and un-box even more till 10:00 a.m. Load all empty boxes into car and drive roughly 25 miles to old home and box up items from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; go home, bring boxes in and un-box till roughly midnight. Then start all over again in the morning at 5:00 or 6:00 (if I am lucky that I can sleep in that late).

Our computer is at our old home because phone service isn't hooked up yet at the new home. So, sorry my posts are very sporadic at the moment.

  5. Moving is not a lot of fun, but it looks like you have a lovely home. And views of the whole valley? SLC is one of my favorite places - I envy you that view, especially in winter.
