All Is Calm

Today has definitely been a pretty calm day around here. And, yes, it does feel like the calm before a storm: a bit eerie!

With the office tour behind us and the storm yet ahead of us, today was a much appreciated quiet day. Our agent sent us very positive feedback from the office tour. So, that was encouraging. Tomorrow the storm begins. A midday broker's open house kicks it all off. Then, a photographer is scheduled to take pictures of the place. Sunday is the date for our first open house. Hopefully there will be some quality showings in between it all that result in a great offer!

We took advantage of the calm and worked on some projects that have been waiting in the wings. I took Bullwinkle's quilt to the longarm quilter. We'll see the results of her magic in a few weeks. I finally turned my attention to our computers. With two PCs that need to get sorted through and transferred to our new Mac, I went in search of an external hard drive to provide us vital backup and extra storage space. Found it at Best Buy, and spent a good part of the afternoon sorting through computer files. I did quite a bit of virtual purging. It is easier than paper purging, but still not much fun. I managed to get all of our photos transferred to the Mac. Now, I have a future project for a rainy day: organizing thousands of photos on the Mac!

Boris spent the day taking stuff out to the moose, and made a stop at Sam's for vital supplies. We aren't buying as much as we used to there. But, there are still a few things that it makes sense for us to buy in bulk. He took our '73 VW Super Beetle convertible out to run his errands, and attracted lots of attention everywhere he went. It's quite a conversation piece. And, it's for sale!

We're looking forward to a very calm and quiet evening at home. It may be awhile before we see another one.
