Templeton and the Wabi-Sabi mobile

Spent half of Sunday clearing out one of our rooms. Pierre's friend kindly lent us his van, a chevy, for the weekend. It's the most amazing vehicle - if I didn't know better I'd swear that it had some Undetectable Extension Charm on it - we only had to do two loads. On top of that, it's the ultimate wabi-sabi mobile - very charming.

Our storage place - Just Right Storage - is very cute. It definitely passes the cute test. Not only is it well organized, they've personalized the space so that it's easy for you to not only remember your locker number but to locate it: they've named each hallway after a street in Ottawa, and put up actual street signs to help you navigate.

Any local Ottawans who are sticklers for details would probably find some of the intersections a bit irksome ("Pshaw, like Blackburn and Chapel even intersect..."). But for the rest of the us, it's so much easier to remember 61 Rideau than "Section G, lockers 12" (or however it is that other places name their storage lockers.)

For the next year, our stuff will live in Templeton 54.
