We just got the ETA on our personal belongings — March 4th. Here is the living room of the house we’re not living in yet.
Welcome to our house. As you can see it is raining. Be sure to wipe your feet.
Leave your shoes by the door and join us in the living room.
The couch and chair come to us courtesy of our landlords, who are very nice people.
These couches are firm, yet fluffy. I very much like them.
Here’s a view of the lunch bar and dining room. The table and chairs also come to us courtesy of Walt and Judy.
And last but not least a nice close up of the thermostat controlled fireplace.
Stay tuned for more ….
Looks good to me! But you have to wait till March to move in?! That´s still long. I guess you could always “camp” over, for a night…

Betty — no towels, no pots and pans, no blankets, sheets, or beds … nah, we’ll stay in the furnished apartment.
That looks nice and cosy. Hope you enjoy it there.

Tony, I am sure we will if we ever get to move in!
The faculty temp housing is available until then for you? That’s better than in the military. Often after 2 weeks in TLF we’re on our own, with a small stipend that isn’t enough to buy breakfast for everyone at Denny’s!
I’m told by the meteorologists that the Pacific Northwest ‘events’ are pushing their way into our area to collide with the jet stream which is giving us so much snow. Could you ask them to hold there a bit longer and snow on Sunday instead of Saturday? I’m supposed to be hosting a forum on Volunteer Recruitment and Maintenance on Saturday and people won’t come if it snows. Thanks.

Kelley, officially we are permitted to stay here as long as Amoeba is visiting staff, but when he becomes permanent staff at the end of March, we lose our eligibility. However, unless they actually needed the space we would likely be allowed to stay until the fair weather (Summer) staff and students arrive.
Can’t wait to see the house when you are all unpacked.

SN — neither can I!
That is the first time I’ve seen the outside entrance to your home. It is so inviting!
And I wish I could join you for a nice chat on those sofas in front of the fireplace.
When we moved to Germany, we arrived on Martin Luther King, Jr., Day and our household goods arrived on March 5th, so I guess that sounds about the right amount of time for furniture to arrive. Your landlords have much nicer furniture to loan out than the U.S. Army!
Does this mean that you are no longer staying in the temporary housing near the labs?
.-= kcinnova´s last blog ..Monday Madness =-.
Karen — I have great confidence that we will someday meet. And yes, we are still in the apartment at the labs. We just went by the house for awhile the other day and I took pics for the blog.
It looks lovely! I know you will be so glad to be settled. Glad February is a short month!

Linda — trust you to look on the bright side while I’m busy whining.
You seem to be staying in a Price is Right showroom. I always wanted to do that.
.-= Doug´s last blog ..Dado =-.
Doug — you are welcome to visit.
March 4?! That’s over a month away! Why so long? Did you know it would take this long beforehand? Is that stuff is coming by ship rather than plane? Can you live in faculty housing til then?
The house looks nice! I love the open space and the thermostat-controlled fireplace!
.-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Friday’s Fave Five =-.
Barbara they said 6-8 weeks and their final count — if they arrive when they say they will — is 7 weeks and 3 days.
Ah ! finally I see how you live now ! I love it ! Our house has the same color on the walls in all rooms and our sofa and chairs are also beige. Looks lovely ! I
.-= Gattina´s last blog .. =-.
Gattina — thanks.
It looks very cozy and welcoming. It’s a good thing Februari is a short month! But I guess it ‘ll be worth the wait!
Jientje — not short enough!
Reading the comments I am a little confused. Are you living in there or not ?
.-= Gattina´s last blog .. =-.
Gattina — we have not yet moved in. Our furniture and possessions have not arrived from Hawaii and we just don’t feel like sleeping on bare floors.
Looks lovely! I love that fireplace.
.-= Mama Zen´s last blog ..Sky In Bloom =-.
Mama Zen — I love the fireplace, too.
I love your new home! It is very inviting – and you will make it all the MORE so. I must say — I wish I would have EVER had landlords like you have!!! What truly wonderful people they must be! I WILL stay tuned for more! I can’t wait!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..Snow Fun! =-.
Melli — Walt and Judy are great people, and we love the house, too and can’t wait to actually move in.
*wipes her feet*
Boy, that’s one lovely house and living room!
I love it!
.-= Nicole´s last blog ..The Lighthouse =-.
Nicole — thanks for shedding your shoes. We have a nice clean pair of slipper socks for you if you need them.
I love those
.-= Nicole´s last blog ..The Lighthouse =-.
So do I. What color would you prefer? Mine are the green ones.
yes, tell people to leave their footwear at the door and walk barefoot inside! Hawaiian style…
.-= gigi-hawaii´s last blog ..Helge and Roberta – 2010 =-.
Gigi — I have always made a habit of takingmy shoes off to enter the house. Believe it or not, I had a guest once that I asked to remove her shoes and she replied, “Why, it isn’t as if your house was that nice.” I was floored.
your new home looks great. bet you can’t wait to start using it.
.-= polona´s last blog ..snow =-.
Polona — you are so right! I want to curl up by the fireplace and read, and cook in the kitchen and soak in the tub.
Hi, Quilly:
I am glad that you settled in a new house with everything beautifully shown in this post.
take good care.
.-= jingle´s last blog ..Bake Me A Pie (Hot Summer Haiku #10-#20) =-.
Jingle — as the first line of the post states, we are not settled in our new home. Our furniture and other possessions have not yet arrived from Hawaii. Other than what you’ve seen, the house is empty.
Thank you for the nice tour and music to go along! It is so roomy and spacious! Love the sofas. Will you get to keep them?
.-= Church Lady´s last blog ..Could This Be Phil’s Last Live Appearance? =-.
Church Lady, thanks! We may use the furniture as long as we remain in the home.
Beautiful house. A whole month, huh? That’s a long time.
Poor Tuesday
