Progress Has Been Made

At 3:10 on Monday afternoon, the last workmen walked out the door and I collapsed on the couch. A few hours later, we started moving furniture into place and even though there are some repairs to do and one project left to finish upstairs, we are now living in a real house with real furniture in real positions where we can really function. This is good.

I can point and shoot but a photographer I am not and there seems to be a skill to room photography just as there is to fashion photography - a skill I don't have since the pictures never convey the same feeling the actual room does but they do give you an idea. I'm standing in the kitchen to take the image above. The one below...

... is taken through the doorway to the left of the living room photo. We've never lived in a home where our bedroom is so visible - especially from the entry way. I arranged the furniture to one side on an angle so that...

... we had both a reading area and some privacy. In our last house, the furniture had only one position and it was square to the wall. Angles are fun for a change.

The downstairs is nowhere near ready. Howard got back from Guatemala late Sunday night and has started setting up his office but after two weeks of working down there he needed to move slow. Half the garage is still full of boxes. Once we sort those out, I can figure out where to put the larger things from my studio that need storing. SO... there's still work to do BUT... progress has been made.

Today - if the sun keeps shining - I'm going for a drive to Salmon Arm about 1 1/2 hours away. If the sun disappears before I'm ready to go, I'll wait until Friday because I'm going mostly for the drive. To have a break. I'll visit my favourite dress shop and look for outdoor fabric to recover our chair cushions but it's no big deal if I can't find it. I'm mostly meandering.

Talk soon - Myrna
