New Apartment

I know, this isn't all that exciting, but I didn't have a lot of choice for today. Auntie and I got our hair cut and then we went to David's new place. He was there when we arrived and his friend was helping with a few things like taking up the bed mattresses. There is an elevator, so that really made bringing those up a lot easier.

This is my aunt checking out the kitchen, and decorating like mad in her head. She loves to decorate. This place is the open concept great room and I am in the living area and the sliding glass doors are to the right with a little balcony overlooking the street. It's not the best view in the world, but I'm sure the better view cost more money. There is a fairly decent sized bathroom and a good sized bedroom. There is a little entry way that has room for a small table, or book shelf or shoe storage as my son suggested. It has laminate floors that are really kind of pretty, I think. He has a carpet in the bedroom. Lots of cupboards in the kitchen (a bit more than you can see here) and a washer/dryer behind some doors. It's pretty basic, but it is a secure building and it is a non-smoking facility which is nice, and he paid extra to get a garage which is roomier than he thought it would be. I hope he likes it and is satisfied with his choice, since he has a year lease. The prices for places like this is totally ridiculous. But he wanted to be close to his work and have a garage, so this was the best he could find. And it's brand new, so that's a big plus. Boring blip.....sorry about that!

I would love to go over to St. Johns** (once it's own town, now a part of Portland), which is where his place is, and walk around the town for a few hours. It's a nifty place to explore I think and lots of blip material there. But the traffic was horrendous and I am not used to driving there, so it made me a bit unsettled. We made it though and got back to my place okay. Another adventurous Saturday.

See ya later

**If you remember seeing the movie Mr. Holland's Opus with Richard Dryfuss, the part of the movie where he is leading the band down the street was filmed in St. Johns.
