		<title>Fall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Denver turns from Summer to Winter in a matter of weeks, there&#8217;s not much of a Fall to speak of.  We went from warm weather to snow and wind just before Halloween.  Halloween was a overly successful.  We converted our front patio into a mini-haunted house:  Enclosed the entire patio in black plastic and added tomb [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve posted as the pace has slowed on things now that we are settled in.  The summer went well.  I picked up a lawn mower and trimmer and used them on the front lawn every weekend through the growing season.  The grass is thick and luxurious, so comfortable [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting in some gardening time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, a friend of our told us they were redesigning their back yard and would be bulldozing much of their garden. If we wanted anything we could come over and dig it up. So, we rented a U-Haul pickup truck, bought some supplies from the hardware store and headed over to their [...]]]></description>

		<title>New chairs for our sitting corner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long time since my last post. It&#8217;s amazing how things have slowed down now that we&#8217;re in the house. For those of you who have followed so far, you might remember that we had designated a sitting corner in the living room next to the fireplace. However, the leather chairs we had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dining room coming along</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago we picked up some assemble-yourself furnature for the dining room.  In lieu of a buffet, we found a couple of great units.  One is a set of 8 drawers, the other has three doored cabinets.  Yesterday, I finally hung the curtain rod in the dining room as well.  Ann has sewn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Couches finally arrived!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, here&#8217;s the long story.  We picked out a great set of couches from JC Penny.  We had family and friends sit in them and they were perfect.  So, after a month of mulling it over, we picked out the sectional pieces that we liked and ordered them in October.  That night we cut out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slow progression on sorting and decorating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Room decorating is going very slowly. I just upgraded my fish tank over the weekend and just tonight cleaned up the mess.  At one time I had 5 fish tanks running:  50-, 30-, 10-, 6- and 5-gallon sizes.  This was back in a previous townhome, before the last apartment.  At that time, I phased out [...]]]></description>

		<title>The past three weeks&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We closed on the house on Wednesday 10/25, started planning our move on Friday and started packing that night with the help of Barbara.  We rented a moving truck for Saturday and Sunday, figuring that we could move everything ourselves.  Or original plan was to hire movers for the second day to handle all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>First set of improvements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as this house is perfect for us, we have already begun improvements even before we have moved in.  Yesterday, right after closing, I went to the house to break in our keys.  The locks of all the houses in the community are set to accept a master key used by the builder only [...]]]></description>
