"...and bless the man who invented sleep, a cloak to cover over all human thought, food that drives away hunger, water that banishes thirst, fire that heats up cold, chill that moderates passion and, finally universal currency with which all things can be bought, weight and balance that brings the shepherd and the king, the fool and the wise, to the same level." Don Quixote, Vol. 2, Ch. 68

Getting Settled

We went to IKEA earlier this week and drained our pocketbook so we could fill our apartment. We have a furnished place, but there were still many other things that we needed - sheets, towels, hangers, and a basketball hoop from the Toys R Us across the street. IKEA is a huge Swedish store. Good news is, they deliver to your home - so folks like us without cars can still get things done. Here's Josh surviving the all day shopping event.

We saved money on our new dryer! We have a small front load washing machine, located in the kitchen. Josh likes to watch the clothes spin. Dryers are not common, so the clothes go out on the clothesline. The clothes smell good, but it takes some planning to do the laundry. So far, we haven't dropped any skivvies on our neighbors. If only I could say the same about some of our clothespins.

Bath time.
