Hi everyone. Well, I finally made it to NC and actually drove down all by myself from NY (stayed overnight in VA to break up the drive, took me two days) and was here by the end of August. Spent a few nights in a local hotel since I treated myself to a new king size bed and I had to wait an extra day for delivery, only because my real estate agent was taking me to get appliances (had to be reimbursed for a new fridge since the sellers inadvertently took the one that was supposed to have been left as per the contract. But actually, I like the one I bought better since it has a top freezer and they had one with a bottom freezer). Anyway, I officially moved in on Sept. 3 but just got internet, phone service and cable on Sept. 25. At least I had my cell phone for calls and internet but it is not the same. The iphone6+, while a bit larger, is not the same as my laptop and desktop. LOL. And at my age I need a bigger screen to see, LOL!!!

What little furniture I took and all the other stuff I brought was not delivered until Sept. 11. I had packed up my Xterra with the basics I would need to stay in the hotel and then my house so I was good for a while.

Now I am slowly (and I mean slowly) still unpacking boxes and putting things away. Then I decide I don't like them where I put them and take them out and re-arrange again. Need to buy living room furniture, which will take a while since I want a turquoise couch and loveseat (am on the coastal part of NC) so I am playing up the tropical theme in many parts of the house. I have palm trees in my front yard and banana trees (though I was told I won't get bananas) in my backyard. I also need a dining room set, gave away my one in NY since it would not have looked good here. Fortunately, the kitchen, which overlooks the great room has that counter so I bought swivel bar stools with backs and put them together myself so I can sit and eat. It is only me so I am good to go.

Eventually, I will unpack the yarn and everything else I took with me but for now, I just have to wait till I get more settled in. I will be back and forth on CT more now. Just wanted to check in and say hi.

See you all soon. Have a great day.
