A bunch of days

I have to bunch many days together or I will never catch up. We have spent the past 8 days looking for furniture. We have bought a dining room table and chairs, entertainment center, and Lazy Boy recliners for the two of us for around $4500. We have hung a bamboo curtain in the master bathroom, shower curtain and towels (Follies Bergere theme) in the guest bathroom, and curtain rods in our bedroom. We had no curtains anywhere in the house for at least 4 days. We still have none in the living room although we did have a decorator come just this afternoon. We think we want some Levilor curtains similar to ones in our motor home. We have also hung many things and feel like we know most of the people at Lowe's. I have spent much time trying to organize our small storage shed so we could get most of our possessions moved off the carport. A really nice young newly wed couple live across the street and he helped me find the studs and hang a peg board. I have also made three shelves to go with the metal shelving we brought from Fort Wayne. The shelves I made hang on the wall. We had visitors from Kansas that we chum around with in the Valley during the winter. They are faithful attenders at our worship service and have been for several years. They have become our best winter Texan friends in the Valley. They stayed in a motel in Maggie Valley for two nights and then left for home. We visited the Biltmore Village, Billy Graham's training center, the Cove, and Biltmore house visitor's center with them and Genny's sister. Our friends were not happy with her presence on the trip. We also went to Roswell last weekend to watch the grandkids in their swim meet. We love to see them compete. They gave me a wireless card for Father's Day and I am using it now. I have found a place near our home that has a connection for free. It is in Lake junaluska, a Methodist retreat center. I am 67 years old today and praise God for my wife, health, energy and salvation. We went out to lunch and will go to a potluck with some members of the Lutheran Church we plan to attend. We need to get to know more people there and this will be a good way to do it. We plan to become involved more here than at Immanuel, our winter church. I have plans to get a job of some sort here too. I will apply at Wal-Mart and may get a realtor's license to take reservations for some rental properties owned by the realty firm. I haven't had time to do much of anything yet but arrange house items. We put up a mailbox and are now receiving mail from Southern Comfort. We are having a good time setting up a new life. I may think of more things later but will quit to go home and ready myself for the potluck. We have put the motor home in storage for $35 per month. Perhaps we will park it at some friend's from Asheville next month. We went to a street dance in Waynesville this past Friday night and had a good time. There also was a very good rock group at Pheasant Hill (a furniture store that also sells desserts, ice cream, Lattes, etc. What a combination! I have to go now! Goodbye for now.
