It's good to be back. Or here. Or something.

We've been busy with the relocation from Phoenix to Kerrville, resulting in a prolonged hiatus since my last post. We're almost done now: the furniture is (mostly) in place, we're (generally) unpacked, the cats are happy in their new home, and we are too.

None of it was as smooth or as easy as we would have liked, but we came through okay. Warning: U-Haul will not rent any kind of towing equipment for use with a Ford Explorer. (Mercury Mountaineers, for some reason, are okay, even though--to paraphrase Monty Python--a Mountaineer's an Explorer with the word "Explorer" crossed off and "Mountaineer" written in in crayon.) My name was misspelled on some of the closing documents, and the resulting delays sorely tested our patience and particularly my dad's endurance.

RP's mom and sister were here Thursday and Friday and were able to meet my folks on Saturday before they left. Everybody got along well--not that I was in any way surprised about that. We're very pleased with how the house is turning out and everybody else who's seen it so far has said the same.
