THANK YOU!

Sigh...just cleared out the last box today, and have sent John over to the garage with the empties. It has been a crazy 10 days since I last posted, but smooth sailing lies just ahead!

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped us out...couldn't have managed without every one's help!

We are having some trouble adjusting to the traffic noise after living in the country or a dead end street for the past 11 years. I figure that we will get accustomed to it after awhile, and then it will seem TOO quiet out on Poplar Ridge in a few months! Apartment living otherwise does seem to be a manageable, tiny version of life on the hill. L was snuggled up next to me this week and stated "I like this house!" I'm so glad to hear it!

J's birthday party went very well this weekend. I think it made up for totally ignoring her Birthday on the actual day last week. She is very happily playing with all her new things while L snoozes.

One day, I'll have the Elaine's over for tea...

Well, it's time for the BIG MOVE! We are picking up our U-Haul today and planning on making several trips to both the apartment and the garage for storage starting tomorrow. Unfortunately, the garage is not yet ready for storing anything yet...floor is still wet and there are no doors or windows. SIGH....I hope everything works out!

We did find a nice apartment to live in for the next 6 months or so...right in town, brand new...very nice. It will be close quarters, but we will manage! Tomorrow we close on our house, and cede ownership to the W family on the 20th. Whew!

I just wanted to post this picture of the girls' magic beans. The opened pod is over 13 inches long. We have saved some of the beans, and hope to plant more next year. Maybe by then I'll know what they are!

We won't be assured of internet access for awhile, so I'm signing off for now...
