Moving in Place

It’s as if we’ve moved to a new house, maybe even like we’ve built a new house – across the country. Ha.

But we haven’t. We just moved back into our renovated house. Anyone who has gone through home renovation knows how it feels. So does anyone who has moved. The amount of work is startling. The dust is startling. The amount of cleaning involved is downright shocking.

And so what? Now that the worst is over, I’m enjoying the challenge. I’m also loving the updates.
​

Are you the type of person who wants to hang the pictures almost before unpacking or do you focus on the less obvious tasks? Neither my husband nor I worry too much about the surface stuff at first. We’ve moved a lot and we’ve sort of nailed our routine. And each move – because that’s really what this is – is different, with different requirements.

For one thing, we’re not quite finished with updates. There’s going to be a Round 2. At least it should be a lot simpler. In the meantime, my husband is tackling some tasks himself. This “move”, he doesn’t have to worry about setting up the electronics. But he is installing our new stove tonight.  

The kitchen cabinets have been cleaned, everything taken out, washed, and put back. Of course, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to purge and rearrange. This afternoon, I plan to unpack some books.

We’ve had more help than we ever imagined. Our family has been wonderful.

But the space has changed in all sorts of little ways and will change a little more before the renovation is complete. There’s still so much to do. Our bedroom hasn’t even been unpacked.

That’s why I’ll be taking a bit of a hiatus. It won’t be for long, maybe a week or so.

At least we know where the pictures will go.
😊

Wishing you all a wonderful week.

    A Little of This, a Little of That

    Keep me away from the wisdom that does not cry, the philosophy that does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children. – Gibran Khalil Gibran

    I tried to consolidate my blogs. I really did. But it just wasn't working for me. Grains of Sand will continue to have book reviews and author interviews, along with rambles, recipes, travel musings, etc.  Gardening and romance will have separate blogs once again. I'll keep those categories here for a while, but in a few months I will probably remove them.

    To new and fun things -- onward!
