HOW ABOUT THIS FOR AN OLD MANS JOURNEY

SOME PICS OF OUR NEW LIFE

Earlier we gave you photos of the exterior of our new casita.  Now, as promised, a look at the interior.  Here is a view of the living room.  We have a jewelry display table, a reading table, and a desk, which serves as a laptop station (for blogging and Hulu movie watching) and a jewelry workshop.  Celia is one of our two new houseplants.

The living room also contains a new gemstone display case.  All of the gemstones, displayed like this, are beautiful and create quite the energetic effect.   Close to it, on the same wall, is the hermetic altar station, which also holds a few books and a boom box.  I, Aggie, the snobby audiophile, have to admit that our $60 RCA boom box from WalMart has a perfectly acceptable sound.

Aggie's new mountain bike.  Augustina, our van, is going to be resting quite a bit while we use the bikes as our main mode of transportation.  We are both excited that Tucson is such a bike-friendly city.  Many major streets have bike lanes, there is a long and lovely trail along the river, and hardcore rides in the mountains just outside of town.  We are both so looking forward to getting back in physical condition.

The bedroom.  Most everything in the place came from thrift shops, but we did splurge on a new futon.  The solid oak bookcase headboard cost $5.99.  Mathilde, our other plant, stays on Cougina's side of the bed, where she provides him with additional feminine support...

I think I can speak for Cougina also, in saying that, if we have to be sedentary, this is the perfect place to do it.  This 425 square feet of heaven is just right for us.
