...to move me into our new place. Chief amongst those villagers are Carol, Paula and Brent. They kept me focussed (never an easy job) and propped me up when this whole transition seemed physically and emotionally overwhelming.
Friends and family have been sending good wishes and another favourite friend arrived Saturday afternoon for a visit. Marilyn and I sat caught up on the front porch and were eventually joined by Carol and Paula. Impromtu dinner plans were made and within an hour or so, we had prepared two pounds of delectable and garlicky mussels. Perfectly accompanied by Paula's bocconcini and tomato salad and lots of fresh bread. And a few splashes of wine.
I'm so glad we had that fun time - the next few days were hectic - preparing for the movers, moving and now finding a place for everything.
Cousin Brent has been spent most of his vacation here, putting together furniture. A desk, tv console, and two beds. Here is Leah's room - before and after assembly
Right now Brent is hooking up the tv/dvd player to a small surround sound system. I've got boxes open and stuff scattered on all three floor. Plus a whole lot of cardboard to break down.
We have plans to get out to the downtown Midnight Madness event tonight - we might just be able to tear ourselves away before midnight.
Or maybe Brent will be able to hook up the "entertainment system" and we will just veg here.
Two more days til the girls return from their travels. Lots to do.

Oh you have been waiting for this moment for a very long, long time. Through all the tired, aching muscles I hope you can feel the peace that must be in your soul. Love you and see you soon.
