Almost a month in to this new paradigm, our main chagrins (First World Problems) are that we're still waiting for the "rug", and we're struggling to use our monthly meal money. Poor little birdies! The arrival of the rug will allow us to finish our living room decor. More guests will help us use the meal money (Come on over). We have discovered that we're driving more, especially against the grain north to south. As we become more accustomed to the northland, that will diminish. It's certain that every conceivable American amenity is available very nearby, so our connection with the Southland will lessen over time. On a pleasant note, we're still in love with the light that enters our space. We have late morning sun followed by soft afternoon shade. The landscaping proceeds apace, and soon our view will overlook a very well designed common space on the ground floor. Workers continue to "punch" finishing touches on the complex. Mostly, those efforts don't affect us. In reality it's no small thing to wrench a 36 year tap root from the ground, but every day we feel more secure in our decision. We've already met quite a few interesting people. "Everyone is Someone" as they say in Luchenbach, Texas. Judy has availed herself of some of the class offerings, and I've developed a routine for my Tai Chi studies in the aerobic room, which I call the dance hall. In addition, I've been walking the trails behind Whitworth on a fairly regular basis. So, all in all life is good, especially today.
