May 27, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
Thanks for the flu warning! Isa does seem to be doing better today. I'm finishing up painting, and will move on to other parts of the house today before laying the carpet upstairs. Does anyone know someone who is getting ride of a fridge? Our tenants want a full sized one, so I'll be out looking for something good, but used.

May 26, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
I'm sitting in my empty living room on a lawn chair, with the computer propped on another lawn chair. I'm eating eggs on a paper plate and sipping my coffee. It is so quiet, and strangly nostalgic!
Robbie called from Portland last night worried because Isa was running a fever and had thrown up. He gave her some medicine and she was sleeping, but I think some of it was over-excitment and 80 degree weather.
Well, I'm of to Jerry's to get so last supplies before another work day! (Hey Adam! I'll go to the coast if you want to lay the carpet!)

May 25, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
We made it through our first night in Portland, and Isa marked her first full nights sleep in her own bunk bed! It was a little strange having neighors so close, as I went to sleep and woke up to the sounds of stange people moving above use.
I think we'll really enjoy our neighborhood the more time we spend there. Everyone will have to get up there to visit.
I'm now back in Eugene - already missing Robbie and Isa. The man across the street and I are going to do repair work on the road tonight, and I'll probably try to get the upstairs primed today. Fun - fun - fun!

May 23, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
We had a busy and exciting day yesterday! Isa did a great job at her school celebration, and the rain even held out long enough for them to dance outside. In the evening we had dinner with our neighbors, not leaving until 11:15p.m.! It's amazing how we've lived across the street from them for three years and never spent an evening together - sigh...
To day we are back working on the house. Robbie is celebrating his first Sunday without Sunday school in over two years. We are about to head out to breakfast with Hanni before we get serious with the work.
Hanni is going over to Bend today for the graduation of her good friend Ann's daughter Becca. It's funny to think that Becca was this little skinny kid when Robbie and I met.
Robbie and I are having dinner with Dad and Yayoe tonight, and will hopfully head up to Portland some time tomorrow. I've promised Isa that she can sleep in her new bunk bed tomorrow night!

Today is a busy day for us
May 20, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
Today is a busy day for us. Isa has a dental appointment, then a last dance practice for Cinco de Mayo (her school is located between 18th and Jackson and 18th and Polk - there is a Duplex For Sale Sign in frount). After that we are heading over to see Destin's school play.
Robbie and I are then meeting Dad at his storage unit to hide away the rest of our stuff.
I spent yesterday cleaning out the attic room. I'm not yetdone, but I can feel that my body is not as young as it used to be.

I promised everyone I'd post where we're staying
May 19, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
I promised everyone I'd post where we're staying. We will be at Mom's for one more night, and then switch over to Hanni's for the rest of the week.
Robbie and I cleaned out the upstairs rooom yesterday. That is, we took out all of the remaining boxes. We sorted out what will go into storage and what last few things go to Portland. Today I tackle cleaning the oven and scrubbing down the upsairs room. Luckily, after getting all of the stuff out of it, things aren't as bad as I thought they'd be - repair wise.
Love to all.

Well, we got most everthing into our new place yesterday! I even got our clothes hung in the closet and Hanni and Cheikh got Isa's bunk bed together. I'm going to have to do some creative storage space shopping, but that's the fun part.

Moving Day!!! AHHHHHH
May 16, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
Moving Day!!! AHHHHHH... I'm not sure that is the typical response, but it does feel a bit that way!
Our house is mostly empty, with a few things that we are keeping around for the next few weeks that we are back and forth between old and new places.
Isa is enjoying the extra running around space, curently wearing large winter mittens and calling out "you are the mistress of evil!" Robbie made an early exit to teach his last Sunday school, probably hoping for a few moments of peace and quiet before heading up the road.
We should be heading out around 11 am and after we unpack we will be driving back down tonight. Isa has her last two classes on Mon and Wed, then a dental apt on Thur. Her Cinco de Mayo in Sat and 1pm at her school (all invited!). Then we have Jenny's birthday party Sunday. After which we will head up to the new place.
We will be down for the next few weekends, and I will be down a lot getting the house fixed up (and probably trying to scrounge food off of everyone).
Thanks to Adam for his help moving yesterday, and to everyone else for their love and support!

We're making our way through the week
May 13, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
 We're making our way through the week. I've been working my way through Sam's bathroom at Adam and Jamie's, while Robbie is packing up the house. We have some potential renters. Three women, one works at a medical clinic and the other two work at Elephant's Trunk and are U of O students. They're all pretty mello and two of them are really into gardening, which is a plus in my book!

It's a rainy day, and not a garage sale shopp...
May 08, 2004 by Robbie in Cortez
 It's a rainy day, and not a garage sale shopper in sight. Yesterday, we had a decent day and sold quite a bit. We're down to the small knick-knacks, that would make great white elephant gifts. I feel sorry for those who do come, and glance around quickly, and disappear into this air. They're all looking for the rare 17th century antique that will make them rich and famous. Sorry,no luck here in that department. Can I offer you a used blanket with all 28 NFL teams on it?
Next weekend is our big move to Portland, we're hoping to starting packing on Saturday, and move on Sunday morning. It would be great if any one could spare an hour or two and help us move the big furniture. Any one willing to help?
Got to go, car slowing down, might be someone to buy a used NFL blanket.

May 05, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
I'm not quite sure what happened to April! The floor at Mom's house is coming along and I should finish up the play room by the end of the week!
Our "plan" is coming in to focus. We will be having a garage sale next weekend. Friday 9-5 and Saterday 9-4. We will be moving the weekend of the 15th, although we will mostly remain in Eugene between the 15th and 22nd. (I'm not yet sure how we're going to pull this off with most of our gear moved away!)
Isa has her Cinco de Mayo celebration at Los Ninos on the 22nd. Everyone is invited to watch the kids dance and sing, hit around a pinata and eat cake!
We're doing a lot of "one day at a time" right now, and I think if we can just make it through the end of the month we'll feel more settled.
