Here are two pictures more pictures that were taken today. My new washer and dryer and refrigerator are now in place. They are so pretty. I was supposed to be the first on the list for deliveries today, by ten o'clock I had heard nothing about the delivery. I went to Best Buy and inquired about when the appliance would be delivered. The delivery guy decided to change the schedule and complete the route how he saw fit. Eventually the appliance were in place and have been used. The washer and dryer work wonderfully, you can barely hear them. That is except for the song that they play when they are done their cycle.


So now let me tell you about last night. The lesson that I learned was, "Don't work to until you are exhausted, you don't make good decision." The reason for the aforementioned lesson is that I locked myself out of the house last night. The locks on the door are very different here, you can open from the inside without adjusting the lock. But that does not mean it works when coming back into the house. So last night at 9 o'clock, with no jacket on, I got locked in the garage. Oh, I should also mention that I broke the garage door, so you can only manually open the door. So here I go running down the street to find a neighbor to see if they will let me use their phone to call a lock smith. Cellphone was in the house. As I was explaining to neighbor guy (he did tell me his name, but I was preoccupied), his wife mentioned that if the door did not have a deadbolt there is a way to break in. So back down the street I go with neighbor guy and some tools. My tools of course were in the house, where else would they be. He tried to pop the lock, but his tools kept bending. While rummaging through boxes I was able to find a pair of children's scissors. Pushed the button just so and pop the door opened. Needless to say, I now check the lock about three times before the door closes. Call me paranoid, but I don't care. More painting and priming completed today and I got someone to come and clean the carpets tomorrow. Well, let's just pray that the next few days goes a little bit better, or by the time that my Uncle and his family get here the list will be too long to even think about what to do first. On a side note, the phone line is hooked up here at the house, but I have no idea where the phones are, except that they are in a box in the garage.

Those locks are not that different we have them up here...Also there is a pull release for the garage door in cases of power outage that can be pulled to open the door manually, thus preventing this breaking.
Have a great Christmas and we'll talk to you soon

You do have a deadbolt on that door, right? I'd be a little concerned if it's that "easy" to break in. Good luck getting settled in!
