Twisp of Fate

Borrowing a line from the Dire Straits song, “Money for Nothing”, there.

We haven’t moved yet, but yesterday the refrigerator did.  It was a big chore (or so I hear) but worth it.  The new house came with a side-by-side Jennair stainless fridge; neither of us has ever liked side-by-sides.  So now it lives at Benson Creek, where it goes quite well with the stove and microwave/vent hood, which are also stainless and black:

Whereas the Amana with bottom freezer and French doors, which is only a couple of years old, and we love, now lives at the new house.  It goes well with the cabinets:

Next:  we gots to move these Color Tee-Vees….  (actually, there is only the one).

We are well on the way to moving in within the week (not the shop and all, just us and the cats).  I packed and moved all the kitchen stuff the last 2 days, leaving behind a minimal setup so we can still eat and cook down here when we start commuting to Benson Creek to work.  The living room and dining room are together, since that was mostly furniture that came over from Seattle – finally!

Here’s how it’s looking:

I am amazed at how well our furniture fits into the new space.  Almost like it was made for it!
