E.'s new place

Was over there at around 2:45, after first going through the drive-through at the nearby McDonalds for some take-out. E. and I ate lunch together at his table (the card table I lent him till he gets something else). I hadn't yet seen the place in the daytime.

It turns out that getting him the red fabric chairs was a good idea. They fit right in with his decor, which he'd brought with him from the BF's place (E. had bought it, not the BF). (See below.) (E. had returned the red car picture I'd bought him at Ross and got a credit - it didn't go with his other stuff.)

The apartment has original hardwood floors, in good condition, and a nice stucco texture on the walls and ceiling. The walls are painted a rich cream, the ceiling white.

Water view from the dining area

Views out back, along Snake Creek (didn't see any snakes!)

(That's E.)

Meandering walkway along the creek

Gazebo outside E.'s building

The first-floor apartments are well above grade (good in case the creek floods)

E.'s building is part of a large, well-maintained complex

E.'s car

Cat next door

The apartments facing the creek have sliders

Wall in E.s dining area (that's the fridge on the left)

Opposite wall in the dining area, with the ponytail palm I'd gotten him

There were some ducks and cormorants swimming in the creek, too far away to get a good picture.

E. and I had a great talk after the tour. Then it was time for him to get ready for work.

Just for fun: Below is E.'s car on Google Earth, parked outside his place of business.
