We signed the new lease and picked up keys today. We’ve planned it so that we would have 2 weeks to get it done, and we’ll likely NEED it because we have too much stuff. Now to get started on the packing……
Here is the Google street view of the new house:
I found this in an internet search on our new address and thought it was funny, so I’m sharing:
“Tour of Homes.” Each year the Homebuilders Assn. of Greater Tacoma put together a “Tour of Homes” featuring newly built houses constructed by association members. In the fall of 1969, homes in [our area] were available for viewing by potential buyers. The event was heavily publicized with directions and photographs published in the News Tribune. 1969 would be the biggest Fall Tour of Homes in the Homebuilders Assn.’s 20-year history. Open houses for 29 new homes, with prices ranging from $17,000-40,000, would begin September 1969. The stone-and-wood home with recessed doorway pictured above is a builders’ model, located on the fairway in [golf course behind the house] at [model home at our address]. “Tour of Homes” officials are pictured in front of the home on September 10, 1969.
