Good weekend in France J

After one last Ikea trip and an afternoon of hanging things, we finally have the house done; although apparently they have been talking about me at Ross’ office.  After the war there was a European Recovery Program called the Marshall Plan; after Ross telling the work people things I have had to buy, they’re calling the new wave of recovery The Lisa McCulloch Plan.  Hey, we had to buy all new electronic equipment and appliance as the plugs and electricity are different.  After one final rug purchase for under the dining room table and baskets for our shelves, we’re done.  Pictures attached.  For those who have asked, here is a brief description of the inside of the house.  As you enter the front door, immediately on your right is the toilet room, no sink, just a little toilet room.  As you look straight ahead, the kitchen is in front of you.  On the wall ahead we put our shelves and baskets.  If you turned right, you’d get to the bathroom, our bedroom, and the laundry room . Looking left, you see the dining area which leads into the living room.  The door at the back of the living room leads back into the kitchen. Off the side and back of the house we have three French doors leading to the garden and back yard.  Off the dining room, a curved staircase takes you upstairs to four bedrooms, a toilet room and a bathroom.  It’s not big and quite cozy and I think we’re finding it more homelike each week.  Yesterday afternoon I told Ross is amazes me that we are in France, living here and feeling settled.
