Update

All things considered, I wish that they'd start. But we have a lot of things to do in the next three weeks, so I guess it's good we have the time. We gutsily made plans for 8/24 (dinner at Whole Foods with Amy & Sara) and already have plans for 8/18 (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), so we need to get cracking.

This weekend we will begin packing up stuff we won't be using and hopefully 5S-ing a lot of it. We've been collecting boxes and our friend Pat W. has a bunch from his company for us.

Jill is stopping by today (Leone, Laurie's sister, will be there) with the guy who is making the windows to get some measurements.

The test on the sample of our old flooring came back negative for asbestos, so there will be no delay there.

We plan on getting new dishes and flatware. Hopefully we can get it on line, but Laurie may insist on going to look.

Our Whole Foods opened in February, and we cannot stay away. For recently working (two years or so) adults, we drop way too much change on gourmet drinks, baklava, fresh fruits and veggies and specialty cheeses and wines.

We've not been to this event before, but Sara & Amy have. A group of up to 12 people meet with their chef at the store. While drinking wine and eating hors d'oeuvres, the chef explains what's fresh that day. The group then decides on a menu and the chef prepares if for the group. It sounds like a fun time.

If Pat needs large boxes, let me know and I will set aside some.

They are 2'w x 3'd x 16"h.

He can have them when he drops off his PC this week.
