A Huge Update, and Some Pictures

[JALB]

We took Princess and Duchess with us, of course. They rode along in our travel trailer, but did not enjoy the ride. They didn't like all the bumping and moving. So they were happy to get out when we got to our new house. We took them inside, and, for a while, they were confined to the utility room so they could get used to the new surroundings in there.

When they were allowed into the rest of the house, excluding the bedrooms and bathroom, Princess went right out and explored, but Duchess was scared and remained huddled in the back of the utility room each time its door was opened. But, she is now comfortable in her new home, as is Princess:

(Can you tell who is who?)


These are pictures of them in my room. Here you can really tell that they are comfortable with their new surroundings!












Next, other information regarding our move

[JALB]

Our new house is actually being rented to us, so we don't truly own it. The property has a large, mostly grass front yard and backyard, a small part of which is fenced. Right next door to us live two horses. Sadly, we did not bring our horses, because Bandit is an old horse, and I thought he might not take well to the long drive from old home to new, or to the extreme cold in winter and heat in summer in Texas. We did not bring Cocoa because, for one thing, Cocoa and Bandit are best buddies, and would not like to be separated. They have been given to a very nice family who have a few other horses and know a lot about them.

As to the rooms in our house, there are:
3 bedrooms (one the master),
1 playroom,
2 bathrooms (one the master),
1 utility room (the "hideout" of the Royal Kitties),
1 classroom (the kids are homeschooled),
1 kitchen and dining room,
and, a computer and entertainment room.

Outside, there is a big workshop, which is where we are keeping all our not-yet-unpacked boxes. The front yard has a long driveway. The backyard has a small swing set and slide.

Well, that is all that I have to say (for now, at least). I hope you enjoyed the story and were not bored to pieces..........
