Monday, May 25th

We are narrowing down our parameters for the sort of house we want to buy, keeping in mind that we might be old one day and that puts limits on our potential list.  I'm working on list # 4 at the moment which gives us 10 to drive past and that might occur this afternoon.  In the meantime, we've started sorting out what needs to be packed.

We have a couple of boxes of stuff we've brought back from travel.  On every cruise we picked up s lanyard to which we attached out cruise ID cards - in the bin!  There are unwanted prizes won at trivia, various maps, straps and things to attach to suitcases - out!  Souvenirs picked up in exotic ports - out!  Marilyn found a couple of shopping bags emblazoned with  Princess Cruises.  "These will be handy," she said. "If people in the supermarket think I've been on the Ruby Princess, they won't stand too close.". Anyway, she discovered they were easy to turn inside-out so that makes them useable.

Our first priority, we've decided, is to find a place to live.  One problem we're encountering is that a number of places we like have tenants and I don't know how easy it is to get people out. Maybe, when we settle on a place, we'll have to address that issue  We'll be out again over the next week or two scouring the streets in search of our (next and final?) dream home.
