I am online in my very own home!!!!
I am listening to the Clancy Brothers on Youtube as I wind down for the night. Life is good.
A lot is done and there seems to be twice as much to accomplish before we are settled, but Nicky Nicki andMand I are feeling fine because we can sleep in our very own bed tonight. He seems happier now that we are settled in. I think I told you that I did not wash sheets before leaving so that things would seem more normal to him. He actually got along quite well at Bart and Barb's house and made reasonable friendships with their two cats and two dogs.
I now have computers, gas, water, electric and mail. The only left service is TV which will come on Friday. Tomorrow, I plan on just unpacking and arranging except for grocery shopping and stopping at Bart's to see how he is doing and picking up my venison which I left in his freezer. Bart and Barb have been so good to me. Barb is working, of course, so is overworked just for that. Bart has had to really push himself an has done it for me. I am so proud of him.
Bad news, my nephew's home (Todd Hiner) burned up yesterday. Praise, God, nobody was hurt but it is a total loss. Pray for my Todd and those involved.
Until tomorrow.
Love you all

I think the last of the workmen have been here. I now have TV too.
They came at 8AM. I spent the morning working around him. He was very efficient and helpful. The rest of the day I unpacked and put things away.
Marlise, Barb's Mom, came by with some information for me after lunch and we had a nice visit. A welcome break for me.
I did some book work too.
Then at about 5:30PM I went over to eat leftover pizza with Bart and Barb. Barb hurt her knee this morning and went to the doctor after work. Nothing on the x rays but they are scheduling an MRI. She is in a lot of pain. Good thing it is a weekend. Hopefully she will rest that knee.
Now it is late enough for me to be ready for bed.
No news from my Todd. I will call Vikki and him tomorrow. Prayers are so gratefully accepted.

Another day. I got a lot done.
Most of the dishes are in the cupboards. I bought the last of the things I need. I have things ready for my TV hookup.
Obviously, my computer is working.
I figure by Monday, I may feel normal again. It does feel like home. It is new to hear the artillery from Ft. Sill almost every day but I knew about it from previous visits.
Nicky seems really quite content. I think that with familiar furniture and beds and all and ME, he is content. He does like his yard, but makes me nervous when he gets too excited as I begin to think that perhaps critters are out there. So far no sign of them however.
So tomorrow the TV service will be hooked up, then I am "fully serviced"?
FYI: My nephew, Todd Hiner's home burned down yesterday morning. Please pray for him and his children. Everybody, including Dick Johnston, got out safely, thought Dick is in the hospital suffering from smoke inhalation (I think). They lost everything material and a couple of pets which will be devastating , as we all know. It is hard enough to lose them to natural causes.
Anyway. Pray hard. My Todd is a special guy.

I know it has been a while, but I told you it would be.
Bobbie and I had a blessedly uneventful drive down to Oklahoma, arriving at Bart and Barb's at about 7PM on Saturday evening. Bless her heart, Barb had a big pot of her taco soup on the stove for us to eat before heading to bed.
As we got in on Saturday, Bobbie and I were able to go to Mass on Sunday. Then, in the afternoon, the four of us AND Marlise, Barb's Mom, took a drive up into the refuge here. It was a beautiful drive through country that I have had the pleasure of seeing but Bobbie had not. I hope we have whetted her appetite, so she and Bill will come down to visit often.
Today, was the BIG day. We went to a walk through of the house this morning and I signed everything this afternoon. I am no longer a homeless person:)
After the closing, I went to the house and unloaded the car. Tomorrow, I am supposed to be having the furniture delivered in the morning and my brand new refrigerator, washer and dryer in the afternoon.
By Thursday, me and Nicky should be able to get back to a normal life. He is SO confused/
Tonight, Bobbie, Barb, Marlise and I went out for dinner. Bart was not feeling too well, so it was a girls night. Tomorrow Bobbie goes home. I will miss her. But thank heavens we are in an age of email, skype, and easy phoning.
Til later
Love you all
