House Camping

I've been a little inconsistent in participating in any writing, but for a very good reason.  We've moved!  Last Tuesday a truck came, loaded up all our things, and took off for Ontario.  We followed the next day.  It took three days to drive out here from Alberta, but we made it.  The moving truck gets here Friday so until then, we're house camping.  It's like being newlyweds all over again with no furniture, no money, and learning how to cook with what I have available.  Thankfully there's a Timmy's a block away and so here I am sitting in a corner with my hot chicken wrap, a fresh doughnut, and internet.

Our bed is currently our camping mats and sleeping bags.  We visited the ReStore here in town and purchased a decent looking sofa and chair set for our living room so we have something to sit on.

Our "fridge"!

Mr. M managed to squeeze the water cooler into our vehicle so we have a bit of refrigerator space for milk, cheese, and other necessary trifles.  My stove is a single burner camping stove we have stored in the Mud Room.  Mr. M has to get the double burner working before I can use it.

Our neighbours have been exceptionally kind in introducing themselves and offering brooms, vacuums, cups of sugar, and any other service you can think of while we wait for our furniture and other things to arrive.  The houses across the street are all small duplexes, so we technically have four neighbours across the street and one on each side.  It seems a very friendly neighbourhood and I can't wait to explore it!
