Our first rainy day in the new house. Well, first and a half, since the rain started last night. The skylight in the family room leaks. This must be our destiny, since the roof on the last house leaked right after we moved in, too. At least this is easy to fix. We just need to go up on the roof and replace the weather stripping. Not as scary on a ranch as on a 3-story victorian, for sure.

Right after the kids went to school, I drove down to the post office and then around randomly a bit. I can’t wait until the weather’s nicer – I didn’t realize >how< close we were to the water. I love it. There are boats docked a block away from the P.O., less than 5 minutes’ drive away. I want to check out Shelter Cove, too – it’s the town beach/pool/tennis courts. The town ice rink is really close, too, but I don’t know if it’s open or not, because I read something about construction.

And there’s a gym with indoor pools less than 5 minutes from the house, too. I’ll be making my way over there regularly now so I can get back in shape. Now if I could find a place that sells really good ground coffee and a nice Thai restaurant, I’d be bordering on bliss.
