A new neighbour!

I met an other new neighbour. Just came out of the elevator, wet from my Aquafit class and she ran after me, introduced herself and asked to use our telephone. The movers were just about to bring her stuff. After introducing herself, I told her my name is Truus. "Oh", she said: "Are you Dutch?" She happened to be married to a Dutchman (but divorced). She was so delighted to have met us. I'll be seeing more of her I am sure!

But than afterwards I mentioned to Ted, we certainly were so fortunate to have Jason help us. He pretty well handled everything (even stocked our fridge!). Dealt with the movers took the calls as well. We could not have done it without him. Here is this elderly lady by herself. Just wondering, why she does not even have a cell phone! I guess, we are even more thankful for our children and their love for us!

We have been here for over a year and I meet a lot of ladies through my fitness class and in the corridors and the elevator, which actually takes only 35 sec (from the basement to the 21st floor) not enough time to have a conversation, hahaha!

We still love living here, it is quiet, (especially now they are finished with the repairs to all the cement balconies).

I do miss not able to have room for our children when they come. In Winnipeg we had the whole lower floor available. But life goes in stages and my, does it go fast! Young people with small children do not realize that as much. They have practically their whole life ahead of them.

I am beginning to wonder if I will be able to see our grandchildren getting married, that is a scary thought!

But then again, we are humanly speaking, closer to be with the Lord. What future do people have without that knowledge?
