house tour

 I've been wanting to post pictures of our new life here in Minnesota, but we couldn't find the camera cord to transfer pictures from camera to computer. Phil found it yesterday!!!

We're loving our new life here. It's C-O-L-D, but we manage to stay toasty warm inside the house. The nice thing about living in a newer home is that it's well insulated. We have our thermostat set at 60 degrees and feel very comfortable.

We've been here 2 weeks and have already done lots of exploring in the area. Phil starts work Monday. We've enjoyed having him home to help us get settled into the house. Phil and I got our Minnesota driver's licenses and our cars registered yesterday, and we've already checked books out of the library twice. We're certainly feeling at home here.

Here are a few pictures of around the house...

 In the dining room. This old dresser is home to my tea stash, stationery and office supplies. The kitchen is to the left with a powder room down the hall. There's a door across the hall from the powder room that leads down a flight of stairs to a heated garage.

 Here's our view from the living room window.

 This is just inside the front door. The stairs that lead to the second floor are to the right of the bookshelf.

 

 One of the things I love about moving is a chance to start over and reorganize my life. :) Here's my little coffee drawer.

  

and here's my fun little stash of tea
