Sack of Crabs: EXTRA! EXTRA! Collins Close on Cottage!

Dana's wonderful shopping find!

Wow, what a weekend! Friday (12/2) we closed on the "Sack of Crabs". The past 7 months seems like a big fat blur. One thing we do know is that we must give a gi-normous shout out to Dana and Frank for coming down and helping the entire weekend. Our closing was delayed 6 hours so Dana and Frank were saddled with meeting, managing and juggling the movers, the furniture delivery folks, the cable dude and the internet/WIFI guy and they still managed to stock the refrigerator! We couldn't have done it without them! We would have had to cancel all deliveries in order to make the delayed 3:00 closing (originally scheduled to occur at 9:00 am). The entire "hurry up and wait" was so nerve racking. To make everything even more complicated the settlement attorney's office was approximately 45 miles from the Sack of Crabs. Anywho, it is all behind us and we had a wonderful and eventful first weekend at the Sack of Crabs. Most important, the new beds/mattresses are wonderful. We managed to unpack everything that was delivered and put it in its proper places. We are still waiting on our coffee and end tables in the living room as well as the barstools for the island in the kitchen. We also have the TV being deliver this week that already has its designated spot on the wall in the living room. We bought some art pieces on the way home today as well as placed our order for the 12x16 shed (need a garage for the golf cart, right ?!?!?!) We plan on going back down next weekend to wrap up the furnishings/decorating as well as hanging the purchased wall art. I am hoping to work remotely on Friday so we can go down Thursday night and at the end of my work day Friday, I can shut my laptop and begin to put things in order Friday evening.

Here are some pictures of our furnishing / decorating efforts thus far:
