The phone rang on Wednesday, we signed the contract on Friday, left town on Saturday, Granpa started work on Monday.
We were in a hotel for a week before I found a house to rent. It's unfurnished except for a washer and dryer. I do love my washer and dryer! That's a selling point for me every time. The garage with a garage door opener is icing on our cake - especially in sunny Arizona! I hate leaving our ol' jalopy baking in the sun all day - and trust me, there are usually no trees for shade. Yup, this place is a keeper.
We decided to rent furniture. Bad idea. The sofa was worn out already, the bed frame broke when one of us sat down on it, the dining room table rocked. It was crazy. So we literally went next door to the Rent-a-Center and bought ...
a big ol' fat double-recliner love seat for the same price we would have ultimately paid to rent furniture.
I bought a folding table for the dining room (which, by the way, is lit by skylights!), and Granpa ordered a queen size thermapedic-kinda mattress and a folding bedframe. His plan is to rent a U-Haul to get these things home. First time in four-going-on-five-years of medical traveling that we've had to rent or buy furniture.
This love seat will fit perfectly at the foot of our bed back home! I prefer fabric over leather, but I thought the leather might "travel" better.
John will have the same three-day, 12-hour work week as he had the last time he was here. That frees us up to have six days of sight-seeing! There is so much to see and do that we don't even know where to start!
