Boca (Grand) Living...

Day 18

as we last left our adventurers, a cold spell had engulfed Florida...and it was cold!! At least colder than we had expected...You see, thinking we were moving to the Sun belt, we had really only brought "summer" clothing. We found it a bit chilly...and with all the windows open...(all 3 of them) it got down right cold.

We had been smart and had mailed ourselves a care package prior to our arrival...inflatable bed, some sheets, pillows and one fleece blanket...you can imagine how WW III would break out in the evening as we fought over the "cover"...By the final night Wednesday, I wore my fleece sweat pants and my sweatshirt to bed. Lisa told me I couldn't, but I did and so did she...it was the best night of sleep we had gotten!! -- Even the train wasn't a problem...did I tell you about the train yet?...

Because our household goods did not arrive until Thursday, which included the TV, we resorted to watching our favorite TV shows on our laptops via the internet. We used a box for a table and felt like we were camping.

All our stuff (except for the car) came on Thursday...The team (driver and 3 helpers) had everything delivered and in place and most of the stuff put away and trash removed in about 3 hours.

The washer repair man came...looked around, took the cover off the washer, ran it, couldn't find a leak...so I told him to fill it up, like we had...it was then that we found the problem..."Bad design" he said...with no clothes in and the tub filled up and the agitator going, the water was splashing out via a large gap in the top of the tub and the lid...the washer is a big issue with Lisa as it only has 3 cycles (I'm told) -- Many of you know I'm banned from the laundry room unless there's a leak (I guess) -- The Laundry room banning is a longer story (for another day...sorry Michele)
