Yesterday we bought a used Volvo station wagon from Bill and Melissa's neighbor for me to tool around in. We need a car we can haul stuff around in and were thinking about a small SUV, but are just as happy to buy the tank like Volvo. I cannot wait to have the back of it filled with plants! Yippee!

We settle on the new place on Tuesday. We're getting excited and making all sorts of plans to put our own stamp on it. Fern has it very individually decorated to her taste, which is fine, but not to our taste at all, so we'll be making some changes immediately. The changes mostly consist of painting and wallpaper removal in two rooms. Everything else is fairly neutral. Simple stuff.
