Dee Dee is moving into her apt on the 25th of this month. It will be nice having a quiet house again but will be a little harder to just take off without making sure Faline is taken care of. She's getting the same floor plan minus the upstairs bedroom/suite. She's a little nervous about it and planning every little detail, not just budget but also space and decor.



This is a picture of the apt we want but it's only showing 1135 sq ft instead of 1305 sq ft but it's basically the floor plan. The master bedroom has a folding door mid-wall that opens so that we can look down on the living room, like a loft, and that funny looking square thing near the word 'open' is a fireplace (mostly for atmosphere, not heat). Also, there is a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Both bedrooms have a walk-in closet and the utility room has several shelves like we have in the garage where we keep the garden stuff for pantry storage. Potentially, this is the goal in 5 or 6 months, to move out of the house into something smaller, without critters and property.

Mom: It was nice, even though I didn't think I would like it, to have church at 9am. There is SO much day left! I kept waking up every 1/2 hr starting at 6am to make sure we didn't sleep in too long. We got up a little later than usual since it was fast Sunday.


Dad: Well, we gave away the chickens to Colletts. We have more on order but they are for butchering -- we might give them away, too. I hope you are having fun and taking lots of pictures and writing in your journal every day. You might want to think about posting some of those pictures in your journal as you write about them. There will be a lot of fine memories.

Karlene: when you are writing what is one way to get over writers block? please give some advice, i could use it. i miss you.
