I'M HERE . . .

Okay, here are some pictures. This is how it all played out . . . I did my final walk through on September 25th. They had fixed most of the little problems, so Wednesday morning, I went and picked up the keys to the place. I started moving bins and boxes over from the apartment, which I've decided had the same magical powers as Mary Poppins' carpet bag. I know that most of the bins and boxes that are in my garage right now . . . yes, I have a garage . . . won't be in there in 2008. This is one woman who is not going to worry about dying and leaving a bunch of sentimental junk for someone else to throw out. Just pray that I don't die before 2008!

I have some cool furniture that Mom and Dad are really excited about. A rocking recliner chair, a couch (with recliners), and a lovely dining room table with chairs. Can you tell all of this was purchased before the mortgage payments begin in November? Ya...we'll see if there is anything else added in the next ten years.

But who wants to read all of this? You just want to see pictures . . . so let me end with this. When Mom and Dad first walked in for the first time Thursday, October 4th after choir rehearsal they were awestruck. Mom couldn't stop talking about all the storage closets and space, Dad couldn't believe how big it was. But best of all was in the morning when I went into their suite, Dad was laying in the bed looking up at the light and said, "You know Carol, you have really wonderful lights. They have a marble look . . . which means they won't need to be cleaned very often." And there you have it. I couldn't be more blessed . . . unless someone wants to come in and get rid of the bins and boxes in my garage!

PS—There are three rooms still to be posted . . . one of them has a name. You'll know why in the next blog! I'll try and write that in the next day or two so come back to see the rest of this great and spacious building!
