We have the keys!

After a few delays, we finally met up with the leasing agent, did the walk-through, and got the keys to the Lake Katherine house!

The more time we spend there, the more we like the house. The neighborhood is quiet and well-cared for, with lots of trees and grassy lawns. The houses aren't the more recent copy-cat blank boxes, but rather a variety of one- and two-story, stucco and shingle. We were there in the evening, around 5:30pm, and there were lots of individuals and families walking the sidewalks or riding their bikes.

And the lake... It's just a small lake, not connected to the Chain of larger lakes. But it provides an amazing view and is so calming to look out onto. The screened porch (lanai) is huge, and I can see many evenings sitting out there enjoying the weather.

We haven't heard from the moving truck driver, so no idea yet when our stuff will arrive. We symbolically moved in by placing a rug we'd bought in the family room and a telephone on the counter, but we're still living with my parents while we await the truck.
