News?

No photo today...no furniture yet.  Is that really news to anyone? We should have had a pool and the person who bet "no" to the furniture arrival would have won.  So now again we are supposed to get a truck loaded on the 23rd and be delivered by the 28th.  We have been told that we actually have a driver now, but we are not putting any money on this either.  In an effort to get on with our lives, we have purchased an inflatable bed, a small tv stand which will allow us to get our cable and internet installed and a few kitchen items from the thrift stores.  The installation is supposed to happen today.  Our daughter and son-in-law bought a new tv and have graciously loaned us that for now.

As time goes by, we have noted that our little dogs have become to show some age.  Little Spencer has developed some age related damage to a joint in one hind leg and is losing the use of it.  Thankfully, Erica's vet is so good with these dogs and very compassionate and we feel confident in her diagnosis.  He does very well and we all feel that surgery is not an option.  On another sad note, we left our cat Coalette with a dear friend and have been informed that she developed a growth in her brain and had to be put down.  However, our friend loved that cat and had her cremated and purchased a marker for her. 

We are learning more about this area and Erica and I have plans to check out some events at the fairgrounds this weekend and another in a few weeks.  We do have similar interests and I love being able to be near her finally.  Leo has started a pool league now and we plan to get a pool table when all settles down.  I will have a nice sewing room and we have met more neighbors who have welcomed us to the neighborhood.  Patience is not my strong point, and we have been here just two months...so if we actually get our personal belongs, you all may hear my shouts even from here.  Stay tuned.....
