Since we are homeless our new house is the Hyatt Summerfield Suites near North Park Mall. It is not too bad. All rooms are suites with kitchens and it has a pool so we have been making ourselves at home here although checking out tomorrow and then heading to Cancun for a few days.
On Saturday morning we returned to our empty house to start tidying it up a bit and discarding all the stuff that we did not ship or sell. Steve Moore was a godsend by getting us a small dumpster which made the clean up much easier than expected. Gwen shredded all our old tax documents at Office Depot that morning too and I headed out to DFW airport with the girls to meet a guy who flew in from Detroit to buy Gwen’s car, then rented a minivan, dropped off Anna’s rented violin (she’s has developed quite the talent for the violin), deposited the check for Gwen’ car (it was good!), did some post office stuff for mail redirection, had lunch at Lucky’s on Oaklawn (OMG, their biscuits are amazing!) and finished off the day swimming and sitting in the hot tub at our new digs.
Sunday morning we finished cleaning up the house, headed up to Allen to pick up a 3rd suit case and some new crocs for the kids and then went over to Alec’s house for his annual Memorial day pool splash party. Everyone was there and the food and company was as usual great. Anna and Sarah were like prunes getting out of the pool after swimming for at least 5 hours straight and we said one final set of goodbyes to everyone again ( Gwen was in floods again!). Great day out, Alec thanks so much for having us over this and all previous years (many). Gwen and I will miss you and your great annual event.
So we are back in our new temporary digs now. Girls are all asleep and we are not too far behind them.
