I have to figure out when to have the floors done. They can paint after my furniture is in. I told the previous owner that I would keep her stuff, and take care of it for her. That's how these places are sold. Thankfully, she's taking some stuff. Maybe my daughter will want some furniture. I really don't, but that may have pushed the previous owner to settle for my price. I know it's a waste of rime trying to plan for everything to go perfectly and smoothly. It usually just goes the way it goes anyway.

I found out which cable companies service the area, where to get my hair done, where I can get groceries in a pinch. I have to travel to the supermarket.
There are several cleaning services in the area, but no nail salons. I already know the vet.

I have to see if there's a pet supply store nearby. If not - ????

Good luck with the move and with finding all the important places in your new neighborhood. I can't wait to see pics!

Yipeeeeee good luck Judy !! Your going to be very happy and I am glad that you are living closer to your daughter. Hey now I have to make plans with you to meet in Bklyn before you leave.... Maybe I will come in one day and we can do lunch. I will let you know...

Found a pet food store, a dog groomer and a nail salon.

I packed up a fair amount of stuff today from my office/den/computer room. I started on the videos and my Rosenthal china, which I'm giving to Jessie.

I need more boxes now. I'm starting to enjoy packing. It has a positive energy and a nice flow to it.

Judy, you were talking about laminate floor and I told you that Hubby doesn't think very highly of Pergo, that it does not hold up so well. He told me today that what he would suggest that you check into would be the Armstrong Nature's Gallery Exotic Collection. He absolutely loves the Yorkshire Walnut, but they do offer other colors. He says this product has a matt finish which looks nicer and does not show footprints and soil as much as the shiny surfaces of some other laminates.

Hope this helps you!!!! I've had the fever to move for a while now, been in this house for 5 years. However with our interest rate, just over 4% for a 15 year fixed, and the design works well for us, location is convenient. Guess we'll stay for a while.

Hope you aren't too far from NYC so that when Melissa and I go there next year, which we are planning, we will get to see you and Gina.

Congratulations on such an exciting adventure!!!
