Big News!

Last Wednesday as I was coming back from a Fritz walk, Ella - the building manager called me in and asked if I was the one who wanted a first floor apartment so I could grow things outside....I have never been a gardener - and I sort of said no, it wasn't me...but if a first floor apartment was available I would love to be considered...Ask and Ye shall receive!! Where I am now faces a really busy street - across from the fire station and a very busy tattoo parlor (which is interesting, I must say) also on a bus route and the library is across the street. All of this makes for a lot of noise!! Since I also get the morning sun, the windows are open a lot and the dust and dirt that gets in is dreadful....The new place will face the parking lot on the front of the building.. #108, it is. There is a fairly tall privacy hedge...and I will probably move in the last weekend in June....The lady who lived there had been there for 8 years or so, so they will be replacing the floors and generally cleaning it up before I can get in there....I will have a small patio so I can sit outside and I can build a fence out there for Fritz...Needless to say, I am thrilled and so are my family. Now they can knock on my sliding door instead of going through the rig-a-ma-role they have to do now. Pretty darned exciting, Huh???
