Well.   I have my cell phone back.   Yee Haa.    It was difficult without it.  Had lots of messages when it hooked up again.  So you can all reach me again.

I am waiting for Jamal, the carpet cleaner guy and neighbor of Bart and Barb, to come by.   He called and said he would be here after two more jobs and now it is almost 7PM and he is still not here.    I just hope he does come and I can get at least some of these fans off.  For two days I have been hearing four or five fans going but the carpets are drying.  I am only concerned about an area in the back of my bedroom closet and perhaps in back of the bed in the master bedroom.

Tomorrow, Mary. from Joe Chesko's (my realtor) office will be coming by with Nate, a handy man who can help hook up the fridge and clean out the storm cellar and a few other things around here.

Jamal just called, he is coming in the morning.

I am so glad,   I am getting tired and I know that it would be at least an hour or so to go through things.

Tomorrow, I will be going in the afternoon or evening to make an appearance at a birthday party for my great grand daughter, Adria.   That will be fun.

Things had been going way too smoothly.   The "gods" have decided to let me know that life is not an even path forever.

The toilet did a "thing".  My bedroom and hall were saturated.     Fortunately, Bart's neighbor is a carpet cleaner and has come like a knight in shining armor and is cleaning,  pulling water and drying my bedroom and hall so that there will be not after effects.  I am still blessed.  My realtor, Joe, came by to check on me and knows Jamal, the carpet cleaner too.    How cool is that.

All is good except for that.   I have not heard from Arizona, and my nephew, Todd.  Please keep up the prayers for my loved ones there.

I have to register to vote tomorrow, or miss out in Oklahoma.  Sure glad that I saw the ad, otherwise, I was going to wait until next week.   Even if I am wrong, I like to make my statement.

I have eommunicated with most of my children since the move.   Jim and Michelle,  Let me know that you are still here.  I love all of you.   As I have said often, I am one of the most blessed persons I know.

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

It was a bit cooler today,  in the 50's and windy.   But certainly not COLD.

I was home most of the day, taking a hour to go grocery shopping to get my routine down. 

I keep refining the distribution of things and putting items away every day.  

Bart and I were going to haul boxes and packing away tomorrow, but Barb has a friend at church who may need some boxes so we are holding off until next week.  

I intend to get someone out to hook up my icemaker and check the disposal and sink which seem to be communicating too well, one surging up into the other.   No spillage but that should not be.

I am going to call Joe, my realtor, who seems to know everybody.

Tomorrow will be a day of phone calling again.    In a week or so, I should be settled pretty much.

Did I tell you all that Donna won the beer tasting contest again this year.   Yea for Donna.

Aw Shucks

Things have been going way too smoothly.

So - today, I dropped my phone into the toilet!   Bart and I went over to ATT and a new one will be here tomorrow or Wednesday, but until then I am availabl

e by email only.   I have found out how to text Bart on his phone, so don't worry about an emergency.    He IS a GOOD son.

I am also setting up an alternate phone but this will be a few days away.  I will let my readers know individually.  See - Richard and Brenda - I am learning.   Slowly, but I will not let every body see the "wash on the line".

Aside from that, it was a good day.    Each day, the house gets more livable and convenient.   Either tomorrow or the next day, Bart will help me take a slew of boxes and packing to the dump which will free a big portion of my garage so that I can get to books and the boxes that are a bit mixed. 
They have trash pickup twice a week here, so that will help get rid of things that are piling up also.


The weather was gorgeous - in the 60s.   We may get a bit of rain tonight.   Which would be a blessing in this area which has been under drought conditions for some time.   In any case, I am grateful for the warmth and Nicky seems quite content too.

Love you all



I check my email regularly even after I have a phone so don't leave me all alone.   I might get scared:)

A lovely Sunday. 

I just puttered.  I got the trash ready for tomorrow and broke down innumerable boxes for disposal.   I called lots of loved ones to touch base and update.

It is Sunday after all.    Tomorrow I will be more directed but it was nice to have a day with no goals that still got a lot done.

I am living comfortable here now.    Still a few things "Missing" but they will show up.   My walls are still bare, but they will take a while.   I have to let the items find their place.

Love you all
