bits and pieces, J, and readers

1 The house inspection is unbelievably informal. The inspector is a friend of the fellow who has offered on this home. He walks about telling us stories about his home and how he is excited for his friend. Apparently they have identical houses in the same community, including the shop and layouts.
2 It's great to reconnect with my close friend, J. I've known her for many, many years, actually since grade 5 elementary school. She and her husband live about a half hour from our new home. So nice to have people to know when you're moving to a new area.
3 She's invited me to join her book club! The majority of women are from our area so this will be a good opportunity to meet people and make new friends. Plus I love reading and this is an ideal way to get back into that as well.
