Basics

June 30

Our appliances are delivered today! So nice, can't wait to use them and the new stove. A beautiful, wonderful lady that Jan introduced me to, Pat, offered to come help me unpack.  Yesterday she and Jan came and we worked on the kitchen together.  They are both wonderful ladies, and I am so appreciative of their help, and we got all the kitchen unpacked! Hooray!

Things are a little different here, we are in the county, so we have a well for water, a septic tank and we have to pay for trash services.  Most importantly is trash, since we are accumulating so much of it right now.  I work on getting that arranged, but they won't be picking up for at least a week. For the time being, we pile all trash in the sun room, which is where all these empty boxes will go.

I've had so many visitors! Peggy from directly across the street came by with some "pimenta" and cheese sandwiches for us since we haven't been able to cook without the stove. Karen, who lives next to Peggy has brought some beautiful food from her garden for us.  Just amazing - they are all so sincere.  My wonderful neighbor right next door is the best.  Jan and her husband Rocky have been helping us so much, we lots to learn!
