The move

Well, okay, not really. As in, we'll be staying in Via Mazzini for the time being.

BUT

We did have a man with a truck come and the rest of the family schlepped while I directed and nursed my ankle. I did a ton of cleaning, as well. It's amazing how many times you have to mop a floor in order to remove construction dust, and I won't claim to have finished.

The living room, still with plenty of boxes

All the large pieces of furniture have been moved, along with the majority of the boxes from Atlanta. The sofas are now at the upholsterer's, so we're hoping that they'll be done fairly quickly...not likely, given the fact that this week is a big holiday week and he's (fortunately for him) perpetually behind. We'll see!

The table in place!

The guest room offers ample seating, but no bed

The boys' room needs a bit more
furniture

Anyway, I captured a few shots of the move so you can see what it's like to do a move of 150 meters in small-town Italy.

Books in the girl's room

 After lunch, Michael and I made a few trips to the local recycling center to take care of a lot of debris. A trip to the wine store was also indicated, but only because it was in the area.

The drill was to walk between the two houses,
loading at one and unloading at the other

Yes, the truck IS that small

Love,

Alexandra
