Update

Wow, another week has flown by. Nearly every day this week I spent a bit of time helping Rachel with getting her apartment set up. Yesterday we switched out the mattress and took a few more bits and pieces from here to there. Today she got a nice hand-me-down desk, a photo shelf, and 3 lamps. We also moved her computer desk over, but left her computer here since she doesn't get her internet until Monday.

Everything is nice about this apartment except for one thing--it smells like cigarette smoke. The people below her smoke--is that causing the problem? Supposedly the previous renter did not smoke, but I"m not so sure... We washed the carpets with clear water--we'll see if that helps.

It looks like she is going to need to buy one more bookshelf and she might need another small table or so.

She took her cat over a couple days ago and he's starting to get used to the place. But I think he misses going outside, too.

This afternoon we attended a graduation celebration for Rhodesia--Gary was asked to play a song, which he did. Afterwards, someone asked him for his CD. :-)
