NEW HOUSE PICTURE!!! (finally)

This picture was meant to be framed below after my blog to explain.....but it's a great one indeed.




Finally I have succeeded in taking a decent picture of the new exterior paint color. Actually it's more like the weather has succeeded in letting me actually get outdoors to take a picture with a blue sky background. I will post some more pics one day soon and maybe even some of the inside. But even exterior side angle pictures would reveal about 10 worker trucks parked next to the house so I will save those shots for a later date and spare that view for now. Well, here it is the Friday of Labor Day weekend. This was the actual "original" official move in date for us. BUT that being said, it's not a total loss. We are going to actually try to get our kitchen moved or at least mostly moved. We still have tons of "cleaning out" to do on Bell Avenue so I hope it'll be a productive weekend yet. I'm sure it will. Thanks to my good friends, Boyce Robbins and Ann Fann, who a few weeks ago kicked my butt in gear and came over and packed up all unnecessary trinkets, accessory items and picture frames and totally DEcluttered and DEpersonalized my house. I needed that swift kick in a big way. Now it's operation purge and pack! Here's my pondering thought for the day, "How on EARTH do those people who house hop every 3-4 years or build a house just to sell it stay SANE?" This moving stuff is for the birds. I'm glad that hopefully this is our final move till Floyd and Anne Craig escort us out to Indywood in about 50 years. Speaking of Indywood, Goodaddy is doing great. Think they have their weekly wine and cheese party this afternoon. Hope that tradition continues when I get there. Of course, they are going to have to up the wine selection to a nice Pinot or Cabernet rather than your token White Zen or as Cham likes to call it, Melted Popcicle. (he's so correct) But most of their current patrons don't complain and are happy and most go strait to bed after just one glass. Operation cleanout at Gamba's continues on as well.... that is like the ultimate treasure hunt of all time. It's been absolutely facinating to see what all that precious lady collected and treasured. You would not believe the newspaper articles, pictures, wedding invitations, children's clothes, rocks, preserved insects, toys, clothes, clothes and more clothes. She was amazing and I have been having some sad moments this week thinking about her and missing her terribly. I think it has to do with us getting ready to move and the big decisions we've made and all the things that I usually always consulted with Gamba about like decorating a house. We had such fun together. After all I was her ONE and ONLY grandaughter as she always told me. I know she's looking down watching us and smiling hopefully at what all we have going on. Here is one of her last pictures taken before her death Jan. 1. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend.
