A Lovely Day in the Sun

Larry made it to work today after a 5 second commute! We set up his office in the roomy master bedroom, where he had space in the corner for his new L-shaped desk, office chair, and computers. The room gets morning sunshine and the windows open for a pleasant breeze, which is nicer than the offices that I used to work in. He said his day went well.

While Larry worked, I went to visit a couple of neighbors. Helen was glad to visit with me. She has been my source of information about the neighborhood. Today she pointed out holes down the street that were dug out by packrats. She also showed me ant tunnels by the sidewalk. She was quick to point out that she has never seen any signs of pests around our house, thank goodness. After saying good-bye to Helen, I went to visit Bud, who lives directly across the street from us. He has his entire garage set up as a workshop, where he spends time on projects while his wife, Tomie, goes to work as a nursing consultant. Bud and Tomie lived in Bellevue for 10 years. We exchanged stories about the weather, including wind and snow storms. He had to commute over the 520 bridge and had some stories about the bridge in the wind. Bud and I will probably wave to each other everyday--his garage faces my new sewing room.

After running a few more errands, I went for a long walk around the neighborhood. The temperature was just right for walking. I enjoyed looking at the nearby Catalina Mountains and the desert colors. Next time, I'll remember to bring along my camera so that I can take photos to post. Tomorrow, more adventures! I'm going to check out a fabric sale, work more on setting up my sewing room, and then go to $1 day at the nearby movie theater.
