The move hasn’t been so bad . . although Vince might not agree. He had way more to do than I did. There were a lot of things that we needed to do and had put off til the last minute and the last minute arrived before we were quite ready. We’ve been [...]

If you had the packers coming to your house in two days, what would you be doing? I should be in a state of panic . . cleaning, organizing, filing but no . . I had my last lunch with my friend Becky, took Chad shopping for a few clothes he needs and then [...]
