Scottsdale Ho!

It is Friday night as I write this, but we did arrive in Scottsdale Tuesday night after our 4-day trek along Interstate 40. The trip from Gallup, NM was uneventful, but yours truly drove very cautiously pulling the U-Haul. I was quite cautious after the snow slide event Sunday night. We had hoped to arrive before dusk, but that didn't happen. It is very dark out here, but we finally found our place and just unloaded enough stuff to go to bed.

Wednesday we spent unloading the trailer, assembling the shelving and desks for the Craft Room, returning the trailer to U-Haul and best of all (in my opinion :-)) getting our internet and satellite TV services set up.

Thursday progress was slow, as I came down with a cold, and wasn't able to help much. I spent about half the day in bed, but Donna got a lot done.

Friday we pretty much finished unpacking boxes, and made a run to Wally World to get some of the staples you take for granted, except when you set up a new household. Like cooking oil, cannisters, coffee, measuring cups, TP, paper towels, spices, etc. I would advise all friends to buy Wal-Mart and Target Stock.
