A Home!

A real settle in and unpack your books home! We saw the house, made an offer, and had the offer accepted all within the same afternoon. We knew as soon as we saw it that this was the one, and as we were used to the break-neck pace of California Real Estate, probably took things a little faster than the more sedate Ithaca market calls for. We've been trying to catch up to our selves ever since, but after a few sleepless nights, we are feeling sure again that this place is right for our little family at this moment in our lives, and hopefully for the next decade or two. So what if there is no garage or driveway, and the lot is smaller than our place in California. It is BEAUTIFUL. And it has a wrap-around porch, which has been a dream for Papercup Mixmaster since before we first met. It's so close to the Commons, that we walked there with K-nob, King Waffle and Boog for the historic "Ithaca Sundae Celebration" last week. So what if we will have to dig our car out after the snow plow comes during the winter blizzards, we can just walk to the sports bar, the yoga studio, the over-priced clothing and craft boutiques, and like 5 pizza places. And darned if there isn't a statue of St. Joseph in the little garden (Nonnie and Drama Mama, you know what I'm talking about.) Now if we can just figure out where we are going to store Papercup Mixmaster's Records, an my multitudinous boxes of books I used to keep at the church...

But I am getting ahead of myself- we're still in our inspection period. If all goes well we close atthe end of August.
