Just a quick update: We are here safe and sound. We have a house. We don’t quite live in it yet, though. The goal is to start unpacking Wednesday night which means we have to finish our floors by Wednesday morning or sooner.
No internet (all phone jacks are antiques) no kitchen sink (totally clogged, need a new disposal) no working oven (don’t ask) tons and tons of yard work in very fertile soil (Lola would be in heaven.) Nails and tacks and staples poking out of all the floors. The toilets DO flush. Half the windows WON’T stay open.
But it’s all OURS!!!!!!
In our yard we have seen: bunnies, chipmunks, squirrels, gophers, cardinals, red winged blackbirds, and . . . FIREFLIES!
Pictures of the fruits of all our hard work to be posted soon . . . we miss you all so much, but haven’t had much time to get lonely. We can pretty much pick the day for the baptism, so as soon as we know Robert’s schedule, we’ll pass it along.
Love to all and thanks for your notes, keep sending lots. Will reply to you individually soon . . .
