July 7


I love new beginnings, whether the beginning of a year, a month, a week, or even a day. Today is Tuesday, June 1st, and it’s the date to re-start this blog. My life has been a whirlwind for the past few months. The chaos isn’t going away anytime soon. In 2 weeks, we are closing on our new home. It’s both an exciting and a challenging time.

Mike and I have more to do than we have time. I think we’re both a little burned out from all the work or we’re feeling the effects of aging! We sure aren’t as fast as we once were. We decided to move out of our current house before we put it on the market. Living in the house, packing our belongings, and showing the house, all at the same time, is a stretch for us old folks! (We actually don’t feel old at all until the aches and pains set in or we look in the mirror!)

My cute husband. We both can think of better ways to spend Memorial Day weekend!

I began this post a month and a half ago! Great things have happened since then. We finally emptied our old house and moved into the new one. We’re experiencing a few complications: Our new refrigerator is on back-order at Lowe’s; we’re eating from an ice chest; we’re watching an old TV with rabbit ears, while waiting for Direct TV to get us hooked up, and AT&T is taking forever to transfer our DSL service.

According to AT&T customer service, our number is “lost in the system.” They say, until it surfaces, there’s nothing they can do about it. I’ve talked to at least 15 AT&T customer service rep’s and am no better off than when I started. This morning they told me to watch my modem and to call them when a green DSL light comes on. I thought modern technology was supposed to make things happen faster! AT&T seems to be be stuck in the stone ages…

Starbucks is my salvation. At least I can use their WiFi until AT&T gets it together. It’s actually very relaxing here at Starbucks. I love the music and the interesting people that hang out here.

I have all kinds of things I want to write about on this blog: health concerns that come with advancing age (I’ve actually dropped a few pounds since I was last on), spiritual growth, marriage and family (I have a new granddaughter arriving in August), books I’m reading, great food and recipes, and anything else that I think is interesting. I hope you’ll join me.

I’ve been in Starbucks far too long! Good-bye for today. Stay cool, and have a great evening.
