The Biffle-Piepmeiers have left 1116 Lischey Ave for Charleston, SC. We got here on July 29, and after five days the house is almost totally unpacked (because Walter is a machine when it comes to things like this). It's beginning to look truly beautiful, and I think we're going to be really happy in this space.

Our new contact info: 575 Rutledge Ave, Charleston, SC 29403

Our sad news: on Saturday, Franny died of liver failure--we knew she was sick, but I didn't know how sick she was. I fully expected that she'd recover. I'm very grateful that my mom was with me when it happened, and she found the emergency vet clinic that we could go to, even though Franny died before we ever made it out the door. That's been a pretty devastating blow to us--we've had her since she was a kitten, almost ten years ago. Then on Monday Burlemow disappeared and hasn't come back. So we came to Charleston with four cats and currently only have two.

Here are some photos of our new house--although these are all images from before we moved in, so rest assured that much has changed--for instance, the hallway that Walter's standing in is now marigold and light pine colored, and filled with an eclectic assortment of bookshelves and art.
