Setup

The first day of 2008, wow! Another year has flown by and the good Lord has allowed me one more day, and this one in the warmth. It was one of those days that seemed to be all about getting things in order so to have our surroundings in a workable fashion. You know how each person has preferences as to the way things need to be, and with a vacation house it always seems to be set up so poorly. Who are these people that own these homes and decorate with such poor taste? This home does have some great basics however, the floor plan was the number one reason I think it was chosen by the powers to be for our temporary time spent here.
Char has the master bedroom suite and Patty and I have the choice of two of the other bedrooms, one with a double bed the other with two twins. The fun begins, the double bed room has an open view into the tv/family room and also has the air conditioner just outside the window wall,which does has a certain hum about. Two twins is completely unacceptable for such a close pair as us, so remove the head boards which prevented the two from coming together and set the two up as a king, there was even extra bedding to accommodate that setup, now dressers had to be changed as the double bed room had a better one with a big mirror that had to be taken off to get through the doorway and put back on in the new location, a heavy TV needed to be transferred from the twin, now king, room to the double room, along with its dresser.
And we are ready, clothes in the closet and drawers and all is set for the night hours. Char needed to set up and office space for herself, and a certain piece of the living room furniture made an excellent desk, so move that into the master room and it looks like we had done it. the house environment is now to our suiting. Off to the stores, need food and all kinds of stuff. So we spent most of the day in stores, but we have success! and the excellent adventure is ready to continue.
