1. Livingroom > Kitchen |
We moved into the new house in Cahokia on August 26, 2003. Today it is Septembe 14, 2003, and the place is still pretty much a disaster. We are slowly getting acclimated, but it is a slow process with both of us working opposite shifts. By the time we travel to/from work on the bus and train, run by the store, fix some supper, take care of a few odd chores, its time to go to bed and start over! Here are some pictures of the house as things look today on September 14, 2003. I will take more pictures in the future to show what progress we make in making the place more like a real home. |

Standing in the living room, this picture looks into the kitchen where many of the boxes are still waiting to be emptied. The kitchen has a nice tile foor and the hanging lamp will pull down to table height (though I don't have a table yet!) |

From the kitchen, looking back into the living room. As you can see, the clutter extends into this area as well. |

Here is a scene from the kitchen. So far, the only things "hanging" from any wall are all located right here. The telephone found a neat place to hand on the wall right by the back door; there was a convenient nail already in place on which I hung the clock; and Diana Murayama's "Cream of Wheat" picture (a gift). This picture was badly obscured by the camera flash, so I took another picture of it and have overlaid that image within the frame. You may not be able to tell, but this is a collage of two different photographs. The intent was to clarify as much as possible this piece of art which I really like. |

The patio is fairly large, covered, and quite nice. Yesterday we grill some ribs, had a few beers and it was a very pleasant day. Even though I have no kitchen table, I have one on the patio though! (It is not clean enough to bring indoors and too small for the kitchen anyway). |

Here is Kira... I think she found a bug. Notice the morning glories climbing the two trellises. They look very nice. Some small climbing roses might look good there. |

Kira continues to terrorize a bug she has found in the back yard. This is a very big back yard and (mostly) fenced in. Kira can get out, but she is very obedient and such a good girl. I just tell her to stay in the yard and have pointed out to her where her boundary lines are. She understands and cooperates. |

Last Thursday, September 11th, 2003, I had my first satellite dish installed! I had to put this picture in and show off my newest toy! |
