My first visitor
My brother, Tom, flew in on Friday. When he left Minneapolis it was -13 degrees, in Durham my car registered 75 degrees. What a swing in temperatures. We were even driving around with the top down on my bug.

We went to Home Depot to look for appliances. We picked up a lot of information. I even ordered by washer and dryer. You know I am getting old when I get psyched about having a front loading washer and dryer. :-) We went to eat at Magnolia Grill in Durham - had an UNBELIEVABLE meal.

Saturday - Winter is back - it is 44 degrees. Tom got to experience The Waffle House. He even picked up a job application (which he is holding proudly).


We then headed off to The Appliance Center to finish the appliance order. I am going the stainless steel route. We then headed to my new place to measure all of the windows. I need to get window coverings - fun, fun.

Now that all of the work is done Tom and I drove to the Duke campus. It is about 10 minutes from my new home. What a beautiful campus. It would have been better if we were not getting frozen rain at the time.
