Today, after a VERY long bike ride during which I got extremely lost in an effort to help find Dave a safe bike route to work (by the way, it can’t be done without riding all over highway interchanges), I continued the finer points of unpacking our house. First off, the moving company made it … Read more
The washers and dryers here are ENORMOUS!!! A week’s worth of laundry for a family of 4 all fit into ONE washer!I’ve divided the clothes among 3 dryers to save a little time.
Need a house? This York Simpson Underwood Listing is a much better website than what’s on Realtor.com. I have to brag a little about the pic of the outside of the house. We asked that the photographer come in the afternoon to minimize the shadows — the sun shines directly on front of the house … Read more
Hi! Let me catch my breath… “Phew!” The photographer just left — she was here to take pictures of our “staged” house for the MLS listing. So now we can mess up the house again! Just kidding… I will admit that I feel like if I BREATHE too sloppily, the house will get messed up … Read more

Need a house? For those unaware, I’ve been going crazy since early March getting our house ready to sell. Unlike in Florida, where we didn’t have to do jack squat for the house to sell in summer 2005, this time around we’re making this place look like a museum, new paint all around, repairs, powerwashing, … Read more
It’s laundry day in the Vollmer house. For those who don’t know, I HATE laundry. Always have. I was quite lucky as a kid — I did a lot of chores in my house growing up (washing dishes, mowing the lawn) but laundry was never one of them. I think my Mom had her way … Read more
