Chance = Change

...so, our adorable pups have been, ever since coming home from staying with Uncles Paul and Steve's house, getting up at about 6:30 a.m. and it has actually been my pleasure to take them out for their first walk of the day at that hour...the good thing there are so few other people and dogs out at that hour that Cyrano is less likely to engage in doggie warfare, and I feel less of an obstacle as I coax Sally to behave like a normal dag and WALK!!! So, up I am at that hour, and yesterday when I apptempted to then make coffee, I did one those things where i put the coffee right into the seeping area without putting the filter back into it, so of course, it totally got stuffed up and overflowed and this time it ruined the $18.00 coffee pot that has been fatihfully serving us for several years...so i got all weepy and experienced it as the last straw and dear Peter went right out in search of if not a new coffee pot then at least cups of coffee to calm me down..what a doll he is...well, no place was open that early, so though he did bring home some groceries, he came home coffeepot-less..But armed with the idea of simply brewing one cup at a time with the filter from the pot (which by that time I had thrown away in disgust along with two other coffee pots that also did not work but that for some reason I had been holding onto while we were in Abingdon...i am the stupidest pack rat ever...) So, last night, after the CAP 21 Executive Committee Meeting, I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and splurged and bought a $20.00 coffee pot!!! And the coffee from it is delicious this sparkling morning, and we continue our unpacking of multitudinous boxes....we have a wonderful home here, and if we can ever get rid of the brown boxes, and finally get around to organizing room by room, as well as painting them all, we shall have the home of our dreams, comfortable and fun. The potential is definitely here. Today, unlike the last few days, neither of us has a thing that we are obligated to do outside the home, so we should be able to get a lot done. WE ARE HOME!!!! YAY!
