Getting Settled
We have been in the "new" place now for a week. We ended up moving in
by Wednesday night and had the duplex all cleaned up by Thursday night
with a small carload of stuff to get on Friday morning. We finished
getting our stuff out of storage on the first. We had the help all last
week of a recently retired man and his pickup truck from our
fellowship. On Wednesday night we had his help and one other pickup
truck and got almost everything out in four trips and two with the car.
Rick and I had to go back so he could get some papers done that were
due the next morning. That was one grueling day! On Thursday we took
down the computer and moved it and the computer desk. They were pretty
much the last of the stuff. What a relief!
The day after we
moved in, there was some activity at the front of the trailer. We found
out that the landlord was putting a covered front porch on it. There
wasn't even any steps up to the front door. We weren't too concerned
since we will mainly use the back door anyway. Our friends across the
road said that he didn't even do that when his own daughter lived in
the place. It is big enough to sit out and watch the world go by.
I've
been having to do the usual projects to make my stuff fit like putting
shelves in the kitchen cabinets and laundry room. There were huge
spaces with no shelves, so I got wire shelving, plus made use of some
lumber I had and got busy and made some. Then I got the kitchen and
laundry settled. I just have bedrooms to do now. By the end of next
week, we will be all settled other than curtains on the windows and
that should get done pretty soon.
Our daughter, Rachelle, left
for Iraq the beginning of the week. Please pray for her safety. It is
hard that she will be over there for another year.
Well, that is all the time I have to update right now. I'm glad for
those of you that stop by and check on me. May G-d richly bless you all
with His shalom and joy!
Love and shalom,
Serena
