Settling in

It's weird living in someone else's house, and knowing that I'm going to be here for awhile.  I miss my own routines and my little round house (the one with the fabulous new bathroom!). But it is also good to break those routines, and get out of my hermit-like rut.

I have had great fun cooking and puttering so far.  My brother is off business traveling for the next few days, so Kellie and I have been watching movies, chatting and interacting with my nieces, whenever they are at home, which is random.

So far, the "bad weather state" has managed to thwart its reputation--the mornings are chilly and foggy, but the sun has made an appearance each day that I've been here.  I'm not fooled, however--I'm keeping my umbrella at the ready.

The dogs are getting along for the most part.  Asher and Echo got into a tiff in the kitchen yesterday, so we're being cautious about leaving them alone together, but I think that walking them daily together will help them bond.  Echo and the cat met without incident, though Echo keeps sneaking into Bonnie's bathroom to eat all the cat food.

I am making lists for the wedding, in anticipation of going up to Seattle on Wednesday. Hopefully, we'll visit the venue, hit the party-rental places and make some decisions.

All good stuff.
