Well, yes I know long time no talkie, I have finally gotten all moved! phew!! I am still trying to locate everything, but it is all here, right?? (I sure hope so)
I have started hanging a few things up, but yesterday a picture decided that it did not want to be hung where I had put it, and it fell off the wall! Geez what a thunk that made, the screw pulled out of the back that the wire was attached to and pulled out of the picture, luckily the glass did not break. Boy, if you ever want to feel like you are incompetent, or totally useless, buy a house... (heck or even just move)I quickly have discovered that I do not know how to do a damn thing, and the things I can do (scrub cabnets, floors, bathrooms, and molding)have long since lost any appeal to me and motivation to do has gone! NO I have not finished it all. The laundry pile is quickly turning into a mountian ~ the washer nozzle spray's water everywhere, except thru the hose, & into the washer... shower anyone? yeah, not so much fun... I have done some planting in the yard and my neighbors all seem to be super nice! and across the way there is a sheltie puppy (remember teddy?? this one has the darker coloring, but ohh so cute!) His name is freckles and he and lucy have become fast friends! while I was weeding the front "garden" haha, after a couple of hours (or so it seemed) she wandered off across the cul-de-sac and walked up to freckles, front door and started to wine~ she wanted him to come outside and play.
Since I was just as tired of weeding as she was watching, I packed it up and went over and rang the bell to see if the dog could come out and play. The family is very nice, Mom Kim, teenage boy 17 William, and 7? yr old little girl Sally. luckily for us, they seem to like lucy and I as much as we like them.
One thing about having a dog I have to take her out & walk her, which is great because I have gotten to meet alot of the neighbor's around the subdivison and not just in my little corner of the neighborhood. Remembering names however,well yeah, we will say that is a little more difficult. Lucy and I are loving the new house and yard, and some of the work! and are very grateful to have a new home!
More later I will try and post some pic's!

I'm so excited for you to have a new home!! Yeah! I buy sheet rock screws to hang pictures, they are big fat plastic screws that have a hole in them that a regular screw goes in and they hold nice and tight into the wall and I can do it myself. Just be sure you have it where you want it because they leave a big whole when removed. Don't buy the things that open inside the wall, I hate those. I can't wait to see some photos! Sorry I haven't talked to you lately. I've been crazy busy, working full time takes away all my free time. Love you!
Hi Jen, what a nice surprise! Sounds like you are getting settled, mostly. Still the spraying water. Darn it. You may have to run to the laundramatt. Did you ever get the drier?
Talk to you soon. Love, MOM
It sounds like your move has been a real adventure! I hope you get it all sorted out. I think you should make a list, then your dad can come down for a few days and fix everything! Isn't that what dad's are for??
