... everything brand new: no nicks, no dings, unless we put them there, just waiting for our touch. Carpets and floors untested by feet; oak kitchen cabinets, empty, waiting to be filled; shiny appliances sit up, begging to be used; ceiling fans wanting to coooool and refresh, front door locked, until w e open it -- no more living out of boxes!! Have to wait wait for the final inspection, the go-ahead; they say maybe two weeks. Brand new beginnings; a new start for the both of us. I tell ya, it's not soon e n o u g h ! The place we're in now falling down around us; holes in the walls; faucets don't work, toilets overflowing ... what a mess. HURRY UP!!!

Oh Yeah,
I can soooo relate. the new place will be a palace!
Been there done that my friend, we have lived in places as you described, felt like we would never get to the new place! Once there it didn't take long to feel like home, and as though we had always been there! I did learn that the times we lived in the run down old places sure made me appreciate the new home, even more than I already did! Boy what a ride, and living out of boxes...it's the pits. Hang in there, I'm anxious for you guys to get settled in, you'll have to post a picture of you and Karen in your new place!

New digs, huh? Nothing replaces the excitement of finishing a move getting settled into a routine.

you can paint and decorate anyway you want........
watch HGTV your head will be swimming with ideas...
in one week, after watching David Bromstead on that show, I gave my walls a old world yellow paint treatment, painted one wall, basil green, painted my lamps, hung beads from them, decorated mental sculptures with beads , reupholestered a chair green, made floating tables, and generally went nuts.....and green is not my color, nor is yellow, I love purples........lol.......the colors sound gaudy, but it came out sooooooooo cool....
I am so happy for you guys........hope the storms stay farrrrrrr away ........if I could I would bake you cookies as a house warming gift and come over for a cup of tea with you........lol
I am glad to hear things are getting better for you, that awesome that you are getting a newly renovated apartment, we may be moving into a house very shortly, the apartment was only meant to be until we found the house and the Lord has been blessing us, I have been thinking about and praying for you, when you get back into your apartment let me know, I would love to hear from you
God Bless

There is so much that gets in the way dear Karla, and so many that we depend on to get us out of our ruts. You are an incredible poet who expresses real life. I salute you! Blessings ...

Before you go to sleep, that first night in a new place, make a wish ....and in the morning look in the corner..it should be there.
Never quite seemed to work that way though. But a nice memory of Mom, none the less.
Thanks,
