Hi guys!!  Just a note to let you all know that we have finally moved.
Now the only problem is all the boxes. I am too old for all of this.
Squirrely -- we got your card and it is packed somewhere as it came to
this house and we carried it to the old one while all the workman had
the run of the new place. All new wiring; some new hardwood and all
hardwood refinished; new higher toilet in the master bath; new faucet
in there as well - one with a single lever instead of those huge balls
knobs that I can't hold on to; and lots of little things I found a
handyman to do. Have more -- but we only paid for one days worth.
Only thing I have found so far that I am not fond of is that our next
door neighbor seems to go outside to smoke and it wafts into the
windows on that side. It is kicked up my asthma a smidge when I forget
and leave open that side of the house. He works all day and goes to
bed early so I just need to remember to shut them in late afternoon.
By 8pm it is no longer a problem.
My grandson is just beautiful and has finally made it to 8 lbs having
started his life 3 weeks early. He is having gas issues due to nursing
problems which means he is not sleeping well and that means neither
are his mommy and daddy. Was there last week babysitting and found he
fell sound asleep on my shoulder for nearly 2 hours. I didn't mind but
that is not what a new mommy wants to spend her day doing. Hard to get
your own nap when you are holding a baby upright. I didn't mind
indeed. lol
Have finally found a part time job that really fits me -- working at a
needlepoint store to fill in for those on vacation. I worked 4 days
last month. Perfect. Also have agreed to teach online soon on a new
sewing university somewhere in the near future and also to write for
an internet magazine [different person running them both].  My first
article is due in about 2 weeks. I must be crazy.
Hugs and prayers to those who need them.
