Moving Day!

Today is our "moving day". We are moving to "temporary housing" while the house is being built (it will be some time, since we haven't even signed anything yet).

We had some good news. Aliene won't need an operation yet, they are going to try some other treatment first. THAT makes us feel good! We weren't looking forward to moving that then her having an operation Wednesday!

Moving blues!

We are starting to pack and prepare to move. We hope to get an apartment while our house is being finished.

Moving is never fun, but it does help me to weed out stuff I don't need anymore! Aliene is actually going most of the work. I'm busy trying to "weed" items.

We sell our house

Approximately two weeks after putting our house up for sale, we sold our house! The downside is that our new house won't be built before we move out, so we are facing living in an apartment for several months.

We really like our current house, so we had conflicting emotions on selling it.

We learned we had several offers on the house while returning from a short vacation weekend (Mothers Day) visit to Oklahoma City. It is exciting, but I hate to think of moving again, especially having to move twice!

We haven't even decided on the new house yet, so it is likely we will be living in an apartment for at least six months.

Bicycle (again)

I am swiftly coming to a decision to start looking for a new bicycle. Of course, I don't need much of an excuse, but I have lost faith in my current bikes mechanical condition. Being an incompetent mechanic (I can't even change my bicycle tire), I need to have a bicycle I can trust to be mechanically sound.

I guess "new bike fever" is just or bad or worse than "new car fever". One item I really want are the toughest, meanest, most flat-proof tires I can get!
