Well, she's moved out.

Sean and Nastia have been looking for an apartment since the late summer when they went to I think their first apartment, the German cockroach palace in Nyack. They saw three, four places in Pearl River, the apartment complex on Main Street being the best. They looked at a couple of places in Nyack, talked about going to Orange County because they’d seen everything in Rockland. They were turned down for the apartment complex in Pearl River, and another place in Stony Point off the corner of Main and Rt 9W A couple of weeks ago they were told there is a place available above Rick’s Club American down the street. They went on their own, and I don’t know if that is the reason they decided this was the place for them. I was happy for them, but in the back of my mind I was dreading moving out day.

Moving out day was Sunday, December 21st. It was still very windy from Friday when a huge tree branch came down from the neighbor's tree, and just missed our house. Sean bought a friend and his sister to help move. Being inexperienced, they filled the rental truck with the dressers and when they brought down the mattress, there was no place to put it without restacking the dressers. It didn’t take too much time to complete the move. They spent the rest of the day setting up the apartment. Before the move, Teri and I tried to get them to buy a Murphy bead. For all of you not in the know, a Murphy bed is a bed on springs that when not in use you can pick it up from the end and it goes against the wall and looks like a cabinet. The other dumb, yes dumb thing they did was they decided not to take the bed frame, so the box spring is on the floor where who knows what will be crawling around at night. I’m not saying the restaurant has rats, mice,and German Cockroaches, but remember the cockroach palace in Nyack. Their first night in the apartment was Sunday. Our house was a little quiet, and a little empty for me. I think both Teri, and I shed a quiet tear, because nothing will be the same after this. On Monday, Elena went over after dinner to help put together a table to put Sean, and Nastia’s 65” flat screen TV on. Sean won it from Goodyear Tires for selling tires. Who says there is no God. As I’ve always said, he’s got a wicked sense of humor. In that apartment the screen will be so close they’ll have to move their heads left to right to watch the TV, while Teri, and I have this itty bitty 55” screen to watch in our huge Living Room. I told Teri, I’d switch out the set for ours, they’d never notice, and maybe thank us for the lack of neck strains. I hope this works out for them and they live happily ever after.
