Moving

Just a quick note--we are moving today! Sam has gone to work and I'm here pulling the last things together before we go. I'm finding that there are lots of little cupboards and crannies that haven't been emptied yet. Also have to take down curtains and pack up the birdfeeders, etc. I'll be packing up the car and pulling everything together so when Sam gets here, we'll be ready to load the truck. Thank goodness for in-laws! My brother-in-law and our nephew will be helping us get moved. So it will be a long day.

On another note, Sam's father went into the hospital last night with what looks to have been a TIA (transient ischemic attack), a mini-stroke. His right side was paralyzed. Fortunately, his speech and orientation were not affected. Today he has a scheduled bone scan because his PSA (prostate cancer indicator) is very high. His doctor must be concerned that he has metastases. So please say a prayer for him and for my mother-in-law. Poor thing, as she was leaving the hospital last night she locked her keys in the car. AAA said they would be there within 75 minutes. As I told her, I'm glad she wasn't hanging by her thumbs for that time!

When it rains, it pours. But for now, we are both grateful to have the opportunity--after all these years of saving and being frugal--of buying a home we really like.
I'll be back after we get settled. Have a good week.
