Lotsa Books

We did the obligatory IKEA run to buy bookcases. I underestimated our book needs, although that was partially because I missed 3 boxes of books. We bought 2 big bookcases, and we need at least 1 more. We have 360" of storage on nice bookshelves, and still have 5 full shelves of books on the old shelving plus some in boxes. We were also going to buy a cubby bookshelf thing and turn it into media storage in the family room, but, IKEA was out. IKEA put some other shelf system in the place of the 8 cubby shelving we wanted. So, we had it all loaded up and until we got to the register, we had no clue it wasn't the one we were looking for.

One set of neighbors came over and introduced themselves. They live on the corner, and there's a big pine tree fence (trees planted a bit too closely together to become full pines) between our houses. They seemed nice. I don't know much about them, other than they have 3 kids and have lived on the corner for 7 years. Oh, and they've been really fixing up the house they live in. The sides facing the street look fantastic. The sides we see are works in progress.
