Just about unpacked

Yesterday we just about unpacked everything. Jason was in charge, he did the placement of the furniture, Yvonne was in charge of the kitchen and me...... well, I was told what to get rid of!!!!!
Just to think how much I did away with before the move. Ted did not come along, we thought it better for him to stay in Yvonne and Jason's place.

But what a beautiful apartment it is, so much light, with the windows open a nice breeze and the view is something I will not get tired of.

The plants I brought along survived the move, even the cuttings of the plants I sold, can you imagine?

A couple of shopping sprees coming up and we should be very, very comfortable. Yvonne arranged for our internet and telephone connection next Thursday, that was the earliest Rogers could do it. I can't imagine being without my laptop until then, hahaha! I'll tell you that daughter of ours is something else and her husband I've told her many a time, is definitely a keeper!

We have been eating out a lot and the weight I lost the last couple of weeks I am sure should come back on (not so good, because I was able to dig up some pants). Last night we were in a special place called "Baton Rouge" as a welcome to Ottawa dinner, Ted said: "Is this what living in Ottawa is all about?"He could handle that!!! Was that food ever good, we ordered ribs. Now I am not a meat eater at all, but these excellent. The desserts, well again, I don't care all that much for that either but after the food being so good the dessert had to be delicious and was it ever! I had a hard time leaving the last little piece of my cake, hahaha!

I am just so happy to be here, with the family of course and knowing Ron and Lynne will be here soon, at the end of this month. Knowing that Paul and Jennifer are able just to drive over from North Carolina, but Ottawa is such a beautiful city. We are also close to all the stores we need.

One of the things we have to do first is to find a doctor so that we can continue with all the check-ups we need. Everything in due time, the Lord continues to guide us, there is never a boundary with Him.
