Domestic Crap
So, the verbal feedback from family and friends has been favorable, but so far, no one has bothered to post any comments. Seems this blog thing is giving you something to do at work when you're not working (but really, doesn't that describe pretty much all of us). Jessica wants pictures of the cats, and the new house. What, isn't my keen wit and droll commentary about the wilds of SE Alaska enough for ya, huh?
The house is nice... three bedrooms: the master for Ken and Julie, the "Purple Room" with a queen bed for guests, and the "Bear Room" with two twins, also for guests. One bathroom to serve all, but it does have a jetted tub. With candles and bubble-bath, it does OK.
This is the love-nest...
And the "Purple Room"...
A really big living room, which is terrific for practicing setting up a tent. Julie and I "debated" for quite some time how we were going to decorate the large wall opposite the TV... you'll have to see it for yourselves to tell who won (and you just might be surprised).
Nice big kitchen, lots of counter space for me to cook my Julie truly excellent fare, and (as you can see) decorated with sunflowers. Big surprise, there. The really important item, the barbeque grill, is out on the back porch.
Julie has filled the antique china hutch that we inherited from my Grandma Lela with the set of Desert Rose china, also from Lela. The hutch was a pain in the ass to get here, but we are very glad we did. By the way, thanks again for everybody who helped us get out of Portland...
We also have a den/office/Ken's box staging area, which continues to confound Julie at her every attempt to get all the rest of the moving boxes either into the shed/utility room/mud-room, or into the garbage. I am running out of excuses here...
So then there are the two cats, Zoe and the Baby. They are adapting well to their new home. They were not happy with the 20-days spent in temporary quarters at the vacation rental house... couldn't go out (for fear the eagles would eat them), we wouldn't let them jump on the window sills (for fear they'd push out a screen, escape, and then the eagle-thing), and the hardwood floors that gave them no traction running around. At least now, there are all carpets and no wood. They are mostly back to their pre-move selves.
Drop us a line, and know that if you can find yourself blessed enough to be in Juneau, we'll keep the light on and the door unlocked...

The house is adorable - a great job on the decorating and I am sure Julie let you have a little say. I am glad you took sometime from all the exploring and hiking to create your little love nest. We love this blog - it is great to see the pictures and read your stories. Keep the purple guest room dusted - we will see you in September. No plans to do the 90 miles of hiking - 90 minutes may be all we can handle - but are so looking forward to it. We love you both!! Mom & Mike
