Not homeless



We don't have keys in our hand yet so I am wary to say this with too much certainty. But it looks like we have found a place and then only thing standing in the way is a little paperwork. We haven't done the lease yet, but we have 'verbal' approval for the townhouse in Arlington. We'll be doing the lease and getting the keys some time today. I drove by on the way to work tonight and I think it's going to be a lot of fun. There are very few neighborhoods with any personality or charm in this region. Certainly none of the other places we looked have any. This house was built in the late 30s as affordable rental housing for gov't workers. So it has that New Deal kind of charm to it. It's not very big but it's two levels, has wood floors, and has an updated kitchen. It's also in a neighborhood near a lot of the things we want to do in town -- farmer's market, movies, etc. And did I mention it's a 2 mile commute for me?

In the meantime, we continue to be graciously hosted by Garry and Lynn. Georgie is having fun in their house. Today she played with the cabinet knobs for a while and then played with measuring cups. She tried mango for the first time last night and loved it. More pictures soon, we just got the camera up and running again.
