We have moved again.  This time only across town.  Actually into town, we were about 4 miles out of town for the last year and a half.  We are now in a comfortable house.  No more the cramped quarters, tripping over each other and hearing everything we never wanted to.  (The "powder room" was right off the kitchen, hall, living room).  Since that was all sort of one room, there was very little privacy.  We are obviously back online as well.  Almost a month without internet.  We did a lot of reading.  Now that we have unpacked all of our books, I haven't seen them all in one place in years. We are still sorting out and getting settled.  It is a month this weekend since we moved.  DH switched, against his wishes, to swing shift and we don't tend to get a whole lot done in the evenings without him.  DD and I just sort of hang out together. 

This weekend, since we are now moved in and know where the blow dryer and dishes are, we are moving m-i-l in with us.  We have to do the actual moving for her.  She is able to direct, but not to really do any lifting or bending or anything like that, which is why she is moving in with us. 

Homeschooling is limping along this year.  We, as usual, are behind of a few things, however since moving I would give dd an A+ on home ec.  She is really learning to cook well!  She has unpacked and put things away and organized quite a bit of the house.  I have been very impressed with her.  She is getting hands on experience in running a house.  Her and her label maker have kept quite busy.

With the move we found the record player grandpa gave dd and we have been playing all the really old records we have stored for years.  I refused to give away or throw away some of these albums with the hope that some day I would have something to play them on.  We have spent the evening listening to old 70's and 80's music and laughing at how funny they sound now.  It's also strange after having itunes and CD's to hear the old timey scratchy sound of a real record player.  I just wish I could listen to some of the old Elvis records dad had while we were growing up.  Currently listening to Pop Music.  What were some of your favorite old songs from growing up? 

Leave a comment and tell me what you were listening to when you were 12 or so.
