OK, so I'm thinking "My daughter hasn't posted recently" Then I realized that I haven't posted either. At least not since before the move. We are settling in in TN. I'm down to 7 boxes upstairs. Most of those are the open -- look in -- close variety. We are going to re-do half of our kitchen. I have an appointment on Wed with Lowe's to see what they can do for us. I want a full size oven -- we have the narrow kind that only takes a small cookie sheet now. Also a microwave (you don't realize how much you use one until you don't have one) And a cook top. I've been cooking on a hot plate for a month and I'm tired of it.

Last Saturday we did about half of the TN portion of the Route 127 garage sale which covers 4 states. Dad bought some tables to use in the garage and we saw some great scenery. I'm starting to get involved. I joined the YMCA and go to the arthritis water exercise class 3 times a week. Some parts of me feel better and some hurt more but it will be beneficial in the end. I've also joined a craft group at church that makes prayer shawls and right now is concentrating on making items for a craft sale in November. Mark is singing Barbershop and seems to be enjoying it. We went to our first Emmaus Gathering the other night and he was immediately invited to join the prison ministry team for their next walk at the end of September. We will be going to our first choir rehersal on Wed evening.

So as you can see we are fitting in and trying to find our niches. I've applied to volunteer at the library but so far they haven't contacted me. It is interesting to know that Levy is not the only one that has trouble getting their volunteer applications processed.

I finished Mary Jane Clark's "It Only Takes a Moment" this morning. Marie there is a series you should add to your Amazon want list if you haven't read them already. Well, take care all the I will try to become a more regular poster.
