Busy Saturday


This is the lousy weather that we left!!

I have a myriad of things that I should be doing at this minute but I wanted to sort of remember today!! Today is an anniversary of sorts...we have lived here in Savannah now for 8 whole years!! Wow!! We moved from Illinois here on May 2, 2001....What a long trip that was. Mike and I were in the moving van with all that we owed behind us plus pulling our car. Our son in law was driving behind us in Mike's truck with it filled all up too.


This is the cute little home that we left!!

We arrived here in the early evening only to find that we had no electricity or water!! Now you know Savannah..HOT!! We left the moving van and went over to our daughter's home and slept on the couches. Next day we came over here to start moving things up all of these 14 steps. Still no air and no water. I used everything that I could get my hands on that was in a squirt bottle ...It was so blasted HOT!! Our neighbor, Tootsie, came over with iced tea...wow!! You cannot even know how great that was!! We were so hot and thirsty and grimy....

So now after 8 years we are all settled in and have a FOR SALE sign out front just seeing what we can do. This house with the steps is about killing both of us...but I still love living here...I love my neighbors and my flowers...

Better get busy. I worked at Curves this morning so am behind for this day but it is fun to talk with the women there...
