So last night’s piano lesson left Jeremy all frazzled. Edda won’t take a bottle, so she spend the whole time fussing. Arg.
Wow, what a hectic weekend… Saturday, we were at the park for most of the morning, it was a gorgeous day. Then a nap at home and then we headed to Asuka and Carrie’s suprise “Congrats, you got a job” party where we met my dad. Then on Sunday, a walk in the rain in Amenia and a look at the horse farm. Then afternoon, we saw a cute craftsman house in Poughkeepsie, slightly sketchy neighborhood, and too small. Then to Bard for an early dinner with Ben and Emily and the whole gang. Ben has his social life in disorder and Emily is pining away about an apartment. Also, their new phone works! Yah!
Dragged Vince around Bard crying. Edda was in her Bjorn. Talk abuut tough. Bought the Martins a new phone they have been needing for over a year.
Looking for a place to live. Saw a huge place ($1600) on a busy, busy street. I’ve been calling places left and right. Ugh. My phone phobia is retreating a little bit. Hmmm…. seeing places in Rhinebeck tomorrow. A friend’s cancer is back, she started her chemo yesterday.
Woke up and shimmied out of the house really quickly. We went to see a “luxury apt complex” opening in 2004 and what we saw was a bunch of firemen knocking through a wall of a house. Then we drove to Red Hook, dropped Vince off and went to see a house in Milan which was nice, but it really didn’t click. Then we went home via Target. No shoes for Vince, but a bunch of new socks. Dave came over for a chat. Seth came over to fix the tractor and mowed the lawn.
Busy day. Went to Jonathon and Christine’s house in the morning. Had lunch at a little league game. Went to Bard for an anything wash fundraiser for the Ghana project. Walked the kids. Tiring. Almost saw a place in Rhinebeck.
Saw an apartment in the village of Millbrook. Tiny. Yikes! We will see where we will live. Can’t wait for the weekend!
Chinese dinner hosted by Li-Hua. Dentist appointment with Dewhirst.
Yesterday, Vince peed and pooped in the toilet for the first time! And I had my first piano lesson in 20 years or so.
Yesterday we went to Coyote Grill with Caleb, Todd and Esther. It was actually not bad food and quite lively discussion. We also bumped into a red haired Seth, our landlord who wanted us to sign another year lease.
