Our first week in the house

This week was mostly spent doing these few things:
-continuing to unpack and decide where to put away things
-having workmen come and do things-the owner's daughter was here one day-a lot got done while she was here
-swimming more in the pool
-more grocery shopping
-calling and texting and interviewing house helpers

Some of the week's highlights were
-going to S and R-our version of Sam's here-we've been trying various brands of milk and cheese to see what tastes "right" to us.  Things are sold in very small quantities/sizes in the grocery stores here so this was a great find

-I have been reading the boys The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe since we've been here from my Kindle and they are really enjoying it

-getting working blinds on our bedroom windows-it starts getting light here very early in the morning (around 5:30am)

-using our Ooma device (an internet phone thing that lets us have an Atlanta telephone number) to call a friend in Greenville while Greg stayed late at working making an international call to another office-it's been great fun to get to talk to Grammy and several others from home.
