So, we needed to be here at 11:00 am on Thursday because we had movers scheduled to be here to help us and were banking on parking the truck on the street right at the end of street cleaning time. Yes, I know it was a stupid plan filled with potential disaster! And disaster did not disappoint! We left on time, but ended up in a bit of traffic in Baltimore and then realized north of Baltimore that 95 was closed due to an accident. Doug detoured with the truck but I stayed in the traffic with the hopes it would reopen soon. Of course it didn't, but Doug successfully detoured which was all that mattered. Anyway, long story short, he ended up getting here at 11:40, had to park in front of a fire hydrant and we paid the movers for an extra hour. All things considered, it turned out just fine. But the stress to get here was enough to kill ya'!
So, we now have unpacked a bunch of boxes and still have a bunch to go. But I am happy to report that the zebra rug looks awesome! Just as I knew it would! I took some pictures of the boxes stacked up, but can't upload them as I can't seem to find where the wire to do that is. Perhaps tomorrow I will stumble upon that box.
We have been out exploring the new hood and I have to say that it is pretty fantastic. Of course, today was the most beautiful spring day. Sascha is certainly enjoying the park, all the new smells, and barking at all the neighbors as they come and go. Good thing, there are a bunch more dogs in the building that bark much more than her. Pumpkin made the trip in the car with minimal meowing and found the house full of boxes to be an adventure. I think she is disappointed that they have all dispersed, but found refuge in her normal spot... the end of the bed! Apparently, exploration is overrated!
Well, that is where I am at right now. Thought I would let you all know we made it and are alive and well. I will post the picts when I find the cord. Till then - hope all is well with you and I will talk to you soon! Miss you already!!

You forgot the part about getting pulled over in the u-haul for making an illegal u-turn. That was the highlight of the day for me.
If you want to post pictures, you can use your cell phone and send MMS message to "go@blogger.com" -- you'll get instructions on how to set point photos and text received from your cell phone to your blog. Verizon appends some annoying text at the bottom but you can easily edit out the text afterwards and the photo (max size 250 kb) is now posted on your blog with free photo hosting. Can't lose. BTW, I added your blog URL to my blog. :)
What made you think that moving would NOT take years off your lives? (Bet you didn't realize that Byron and I are really in our 40's - we look like this because of all the moving we did for years!)I agree with Doug, being pulled over for an illegal u-turn with a u-haul must have been a highlight!
You arrived in NY on such a beautiful day! We made our first annual appearance at the community garden and went back today for more physical torture. Eventually we will have excess produce to share so keep that in mind. Glad your pets took the move in stride.
We are happy you are now fellow NY'ers and look forward to your photos!
Jackie (yes, I'm "G'ma J" in the blogosphere)
