The first month

Where do I begin....................and I always wanted to write a book. HA! I can't even come up with a title for this post. First let me tell you how much I miss all of you and our visits. There is Nothing like girl talk and gossip. Let me begin with my life for the past 1 1/2 months. We left Fairport on Saturday, Nov. 22 after a long day of the movers loading the truck on Fri in a snow storm. Figures! One last blast of snow to remember Fairport. Haven't seen a drop since. YES! Anyway we took our neighbors cat and drove to NJ to live with Rays mom for the next 2 weeks. That worked out very well and KitKat adjusted nicely to not going outside. On the 9th of Dec. the movers showed up in Annville,PA and unloaded the truck. It was so nice to see my "stuff". That truck could not have fit one more thing in it. Thank God I sold as much as I did. Thanks to all you purchasers! I never saw so many boxes in my life. What the hell was I going to do with all this stuff. I moved from a 5 bedroom to a 3 bedroom, no LR or sunroom. But I did gain a loft. What the hell do you do with one of those....game room? Actually, Ray and I use the loft like an extension of our bedroom, a suite. So, Tues. after the movers leave and set up our bed we find the boxes and make our bed so we can spend our first night in the house. Finally. My father arrived on Fri. My sister and her husband came for the day Sat. He did some telephone and cable work and Kathy helped with some of the boxes. Now all the boxes in the rooms were unpacked, blinds installed in all the rooms except the family room and upstairs bathroom, they were still being made at the factory.
I won't bore you with all the unpacking details but will tell you that Tony came the following Tues. and painted every room. I tried to get Doug to come and do some crown molding but he was too busy. Probably working for you Nan!! Anyway, I found a 22 year old that did some work for the builder. A nice kid who did a great job the same time Tony was here. He did crown molding in the DR, FR, Kitchen, Foyer and Loft. Just beautiful! He also built shelves in the pantry and a ramp in the garage for Jacksons wheelchair. He was alittle taken back by me and willing to do anything I asked. He heard the way Tony and I spoke to each other and was nervous! It was really funny. I will end this post on that note, stop boring you with these little details and will post pictures. Let me mention that Barbara and Tony came for New Years. They arrived on Tues. night and left Sat. morning. Babs and I did a lot of shopping, a lot of mirror/picture hanging and a lot of organizing shelves in the basement that Ray and Tony built.
