What a difference a week makes!

Well last Saturday this time we were racing against a storm in Oklahoma that was wrecking havoc on the city. The sky was black and the lightening was so loud and hard that it struck our motel and our AC was smoking from the hit. Today, we are sitting in AZ and the skies are sunny and bright and there is not a cloud in sight. I cannot believe that we have been here for almost a week now. We are as settled as we will be until our house is done. Here is a picture of how the property looked like when we arrived and later I will send a picture of the property after the concrete was poured (just so you all can see that we are serious about building a new place). The builder said we are probably looking at a closing in August (so we will be here for awhile).

Mike has put in some applications for work and he may have an interview next week with the storage company where we are storing our goods. They possibly have an opening where he would service several of their stores doing maintenance type work and that type of thing, which is right up his ally. So, we shall see what the Lord has in mind.

Otherwise, not much else is new. We are trying to get into a new routine around here. It is sunny and bright when we get up in the morning and the nights have been cool (60ish) and we can keep the windows open at night with no AC and that is nice. I suppose when the heat really gets up there we will have to keep the windows closed but now it is a pleasing change of events for us. Daylight is until about 8:00 or so and that is usually when we do our walking as it has cooled off by then.

I have found some of my stamping stuff and so I was able to work on a few projects this week. Yeah! Mike's sister, Donna, is gone most of the time with work and doing side jobs of watching other people's homes, etc. so, it is just Mike's mom and us holding down the fort. So far so good!

So, I guess I better go get some stuff done. Ma and I will be taking turns cooking the meals around here and next week is my week, so I better go make a list and see what she has in her cupboards so that I can get the supplies that we need.

I miss and love you all, take care and do keep in touch! L
