A few things have happened in the past couple of months. Israel moved out at the end of January. Moved into a duplex in Tacoma just a few blocks from where he works. Didn't want to depend on us to get him back and forth to work, now he lives close enough that he can walk or ride his bike. He texted me a couple of weeks ago that he had paid off one of his traffic tickets so he is getting closer to getting his drivers license back.
Jericho and her husband Mike moved to Lynnwood last weekend. Mike works out there and they had been looking for a place for awhile. Jericho got a new job in west Seattle not sure when she starts. She is currently working in Auburn. They are renting an older split level with 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and 2 fireplaces! It's on a nice piece of property with lots of trees and a couple of raised beds she wants to plant some veggies and herbs in. There were a few bunches of snowdrops coming up when I was there. She took her cat home with her-he has been living with us for years. They couldn't have him at the apartment they were in. She said he has explored the whole house and is settling in nicely. He did not like that hour long ride in the car though...
I got my sewing/craft room back when Iz moved out but other than moving things in there I haven't really spent any time in there.
Carl's dad is moving to California this week to live with his daughter Jackie. She has a little one bedroom house out in the back yard of her place that is all fixed up for him-all he needs to do is bring his clothes! So we are taking over his old place in Spanaway. We won't be living out there for a year probably but at least we can get started gutting the place this weekend. We will be paying 2 mortgages starting next month...at least they are both pretty low. The place is a mess and we really do have to gut it-it's an old, old mobile home-there are soft spots in the floors, mice in the cupboards and feral cats in the back yard! But it's a nice piece of property, almost an acre I think, I can have a garden and we might even get a couple of chickens. Carl can have a shop out there for his woodworking too. So maybe I will have something to blog about more often once we get started out there :)
That's plenty of news! Did Iz get married? And another mobile home to fix up, huh? What will you do with this one that you're living in now? Is the other one as big and roomy as this one? It's nice to have some land and a shop or garage or something. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have my shop! I think you get my blogs so you should be up to date with all lmy family's goings on. Miss you girly!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sue: For 'Not much to tell' you sure had a lot to tell!
ReplyDeletelol i know i realized after i published this that i should have renamed it. we will sell our current place once the other one is livable. it's 3 bedrooms 2 baths so a little smaller than this one and older *shrug. and no Iz did not get married :) miss you too!
