Party time

The house warming party was last night.   I don't have any pics from the party, because I was too busy talking with people and giving tours.    People said all the right things -- mostly wow.  :-)

Here are a few pics of the post party crumbs:

 Flowers -- this is an orchid that Costco was selling to help people celebrate the coming spring (or whatever).   I don't have much hopes for its long term longevity, but it looks nice against the brown wall.

A bouquet for the table.   Who knew that I actually have vases?

Brenda brought me a carry basket.   I have looked at these and resisted --  they are very cool things and I am happy to have one now.   Thanks Brenda!

Pete's note said that one of the rules of home ownership is that if you need a tool, you won't have it and if you have a tool, you won't need it.   Thus, he brought me a tool to ward off plumbing problems, which are certainly good to avoid.

The debris at the end.

Thanks very much to all of you that were able to come, especially the people who fought the snow in the north.   For those who weren't able to come this time, I hope to see you here another day.

Moving in today -- excited doesn't begin to cover it.  :-)
