Back On Line

I am so very happy to finally be back on line and be able to read and see these wonderful posts from my "darling daughters". My move has gone really well. Shirley, my dear friend and major helper has been simply wonderful. We drove down to Greenbrae on Thursday, the truck unloaded on Friday. We worked non stop all the rest of Friday, all day Saturday, Sunday afternoon and just about collapsed as we carried the last box into the garage. So many people came by and pitched in bringing food and encouragement and hands on help. Nancy and Dave were here ... they helped me get Porter's big TV over to the apartment and then stayed to hang paintings. Nancy worked hard unboxing ... Grace Emori and her friend Lynn came over from the East Bay with fresh flowers and wonderful healthy produce and Acme bread for us to enjoy. Beth Michaelson came today with lunch for us even including wonderful home made brownies.

The Comcast crew left at 9 pm tonight after finally getting my internet and TV hooked up.. the phone was too complicated so ATT is going to be my provider. This is why I have a new phone number. Send me an email and I will give you the number.

It feels so good to be out of boxes and pretty much settled. I have a lot of "tweaking" to do. Shirley put a lot of things away for me and so it will be awhile before I can find everything. I LOVE my new apartment. The "Darling Daughters" really did a great job of finding just the right place for me. I will post some photos later. It is 10 pm and I am pooped. So it is off to bed and time for shut eye. Shirley leaves tomorrow to have the rest of her time here in the Bay Area be a little more restful. She deserves a break and a star in her crown.

Welcome back to the Internet! You might want to take your phone number off the blog though, since anyone in the world can get at it here.
It's weird here today - thunderstorms and clouds but hot and muggy all at the same time. I am always dressing the wrong way.
Give Shirley a big hug and kiss for me - what a trooper.
