The move has begun

62 degrees this morning when I left on my walk at 6:40.

Rained during the night but was nice by morning.

Mostly cloudy at first but lots of sun after a little while.

My usual walk, around the streets in town and the cemeteries

and the ball park loop.

Saw Lisa out running and we stopped for a chat in one of the cemeteries.

The usual rabbits around and the geese were back by the town pond.

Walked 6  miles

Last evening Ken had a church meeting to go to and on the way home

he stopped at Walmart and Lowe's.

Both places he picked up a little something for me.

Walmart it was blueberries so I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast.

Also he brought back a very bight new orange hat for me so I'm easily

seen when walking.

In Lowe's he spotted some galvanized pails that were on sale.

The pails, I'm going to put in the box window at the new house

and grow basil, oregano, parsley.

The only thing that needs doing at the new house now is to

install the lights over the garage doors and on the sides of the front door.

I'm pretty sure that is it.

The final inspection still needs to be done and Ronnie has called

for it but hasn't heard back yet.  Hopefully early next week so by

Saturday we will be able to move in the house.

We spent the day moving some of our stuff in the house.

Still have lots to bring over but here is the start.  

Seeming more like home seeing our things in it.

During one of the times we were at the old house I took a few minutes

to make some pizza dough and then we took the last load over for the day.

We are not taking full loads over and just taking our time and enjoying the move.

Nice to be able to stop and sit on the porch.

When we got back from the last load the pizza dough was ready and

Ken made us a delicious pizza for supper.  

It was a Margarita with fresh mozzarella, basil and fresh garden tomatoes. 

(friend from the book club gave me the tomatoes and a zucchini)

So that's been my day.

Very excited to be moving into the house.

Hope your day was a happy one.

Life is Good

"During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz.

I breezed through the questions until I read the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was a joke.

I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.

Before the class ended, 

one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade.

"Absolutely," the professor said.

"In your careers, you will meet many people.

All are significant.

They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello."

I've never forgotten that lesson.

I also learned her name was Dorothy."
