Along came a wolf spider and

I am here.

My brother and his oldest and youngest sons drove the 26 foot van pulling a 15 foot trailer with my car on it. His third wife drove me in her son’s car filled with more boxes, Chauncey and me.
It took us about fourteen hours and $410.00 of gas to get here, but: We are here.

Bobby backed the van down the narrow road and into the short sideways drive and we unpacked. The armoire did not fit. It would have been short enough to stand with an inch to spare, but standing it up took more room than we had. We even took a section of the ceiling out, but the joists were too close together there, so I have an L-shaped hole in my ceiling and my son had a lovely new entertainment center and large television. I have his television and his neighbor’s entertainment center. We are all happy.

My ex-sister-in-law is an amazing worker. She even arranged some of my furniture the night we moved things in.

Yesterday we took everyone hiking and Lennon walked the whole way (I did not.) I have slept in my own bed for two nights now, killed a wolf spider almost as big as the palm of my hand and bought a new refrigerator. This morning my two year old grandson read some of a book to me, we unpacked my car and now he is swimming and I am at Kinko’s using their computer hook up.

Life is new and sweet and we are finding our way.
