Still cracking open boxes...

I actually unpacked 11 boxes yesterday and put away a lot of stuff! Was able to make up two pretty full boxes for a yard sale. I'm sure it's not near enough to get rid of, but it's a decent start. It's not easy to part with some of these "things", but I'm making an effort anyway.

Found I left a soda can in my craft room overnight and attracted a bunch of ants...UGH! I won't do that again. Will be leaving some ant baits to discourage those little buggers from bothering me again. I should know better. Our tenants had a bad ant problem before and I certainly don't want the same situation.

Love having the internet, phone and TV ability now. I'm going to set aside some time this week to work on my reunion stuff. I've got lots of catching up to do on my main list and start keeping stats from the questionnaires we've received. One of my challenge questions the night of the reunion will be to guess how many total years the group who responded has been married. There must be something good about our generation...I notice most of the responses thus far have been married between 20-35+ years. That's really an accomplishment in this day and age. Unfortunately, I can't compete with those numbers, but am at a respectable 12 years [this time around :-)].

Looking forward to seeing some of my friends on my next trip home. Have a birthday next week and hope to have a nice dinner with my sweetheart. I love to celebrate birthdays...not just my own but everyone else's. I think it's a very special day to celebrate and I don't like to let them pass without some kind of mention. Once we are settled in permanently, I'll be sure to make some great cards for our wonderful neighbors. All but one of the 8 of us in our immediate area have summer birthdays. That makes it a lot easier to remember.

Better get back to my unpacking. Listening to some great oldies and that keeps me upbeat and ready to tackle almost anything. There's a great station we pick up on our way here, but we can only hear it for a few miles, then we lose the signal. Fortunately, we can pick it up on the internet. If you like real good oldies (50's and 60's) check it out....KFXM.com I think. Some of the music I hear I haven't heard in 30-40 years. Just love this great old sound. Enjoy!!!
