When you no longer own a huge amount of 'stuff', moving day is a little easier - it also helps to move just a mile across town. We took a carload over every time we spent a day working on the house. Of course, the day we wanted to move furniture and the kitchen was the hottest day so far this year - 98 degrees and 90% humidity. When we finished at 5:00 we put on our bathing suits and fell into the ocean. A thunderstorm was approaching, but there was no lightning so we just floated to our heart's content and let the salt water soothe our aching muscles. A cooler, clear day prevailed when we moved over the final items. We hired a moving company to bring all the heavy things and it was an hour well spent. They picked up the sleep sofa like it nothing, and ran with it to the truck.

Now we're slowly unpacking, catching up on yardwork and trying to find all those little things we packed 'somewhere.' Our little garden is producing nice peppers, tomatoes and onions, so I raided it to make a fresh batch of Gazpacho.
Our second night in the house we walked out the boardwalk behind us and savored a marsh sunset. Finishing the bathroom is next on the agenda, along with all those little tasks required whenever you move into a 'new' place.
