Catching Up

First, I have to apologize. With all the packing and moving and giving stuff away and closing on the house I haven'thad the chance to update.

Wednesday's party went off better than I had hoped. What a great blessing to have known so many friends. Some pics:


First pic are some of the neighbors who were the first to show:




Next are more neighbors

The proud new owners:

More friends

Rodger doing some bonding:

Apologies to the many I did not get pics of. I was way too busy enjoying all of your company. Thanks to all!

Thursday some dear friends took us out to Judy's favorite restaurant- Fiesta Mexicana on the south side of La Crosse.

They started homeschooling their son at the same time we started homeschooling Kenny & Gretta. Their son and Kenny are the same age and are the best of friends.

They gave Kenny something he would really like but I would NEVER give him: A Minnesota Vikings cap!

I guess I'll have to allow it on the bus.

Garbage day:

Many thanks to Hilltopper Refuse. They picked up literally TONS of trash from in front of our house over the last few months. Sometimes the garbage lined the street from the driveway to our neighbor's property line. Once it took them almost half an hour to load it all.

Friday was closing day. Went very well, no surprises. Congratulations Suzy & Wes! Hope you enjoy the house and the neighborhood as well as we have.

Left town that day and made it over to my folks in Two Rivers without too much trouble. Except for being pulled over near Forest Junction. Seems the lights on the car and the trailer were out. Just turned the lights on in the car and it was OK, but the battery was completely dead when we arrived.

Will catch up on the weekend tomorrow.
