This morning, after our usual delicious hotel buffet breakfast, we went to the house. Ooooo, we just can't get over the beauty of it. We also took both cars over and discovered that they sit side by side in the garage with room to spare. Nice.
We emptied all the stuff out of Mark's car, which included a lot of kitchen things. I spent about four hours cleaning cabinets and setting up things in the kitchen. It was fun deciding which cabinet would be meat, which dairy, which spices, etc. We also took our two plants, Treeful, the gigantic 20 year old philodendron, and Plant, a vine that my friend Marie gave me about four years ago. They made the trip to Florida like real troopers in the front seat of my car. Now they have a sunny, warm place of honor on the lanai. I also did three loads of laundry in our new washer/dryer. I love them! They are so convenient, right off the kitchen.
Our new phone is working in the house, and Mark was able to hook up our small TV and watch the basic cable channels that are included in our HOA fees. The High-Def, digital, and premium channels will get set up on Wednesday.
Around 2 p.m. we tried out one of the local Chinese restaurants. It was delicious, but their Hunan Chicken, although good, wasn't at all like any Hunan chicken in any other restaurant. I think I'll try something else next time. Mark had Ma Po Bean Curd, a dish we had never heard of before, but he liked it a lot.
After lunch, it was POURING down rain, but we read/napped on the outdoor lanai by the pool and waited for the storm to end. Once it did, we had a nice swim, soak in the hot tub, kosher hot dog dinner at the bar/restaurant, and some nice restful time sitting by the lake and watching the birds and squirrels. So peaceful, so beautiful.
The PODS arrive tomorrow. We hope that goes smoothly, just getting them through the guard's gate and parked in the driveway and street. The crew to unload will come Tuesday.
Life is good.
