[Spridgets] We're In

[Larry Macy]

Well after 2 long weeks of sanding, painting, sanding some more,  
painting some more we are finally in our new home. The MG is in the  
driveway, the bed is set up (but we had to sleep on an air mattress  
last night as the water bed was still a bit on the chilly side), the  
kitchen is ready, and we have tunes,

Saturday, july 28th, the movers showed up at 8:30, their estimate for  
the job was 7 hours for $1000. I told the kid running the show that  
since that was the estimate, then I had a grand in my pocket and any  
time they cut off that 7 hrs would go in their pocket. His response?  
"Seriously?" I answered "yes" and they were off!!  4 hrs later they  
were done. Completely soaked in sweat from the 90 F 80% humidity day  
they managed to pull it off and stick some cash in their pockets.

About 11 AM a work crew gathered at the house. Theresa's family  
pitched in to sort stuff out. Included was her sisters, Barbara, Joan,  
and Maureen, her brother, Jim and her mother, Isabella. Barbara and  
Jim brought their spouses, Kenny and Janice. Kristi and Lambert, and  
Greg and Monica (Greg's girl friend) also showed up to help. By the  
time they were done, the kitchen, the living room, the dining room  
were all sorted out and ready to live.

There is more to be done. We still have plenty of boxes to unpack, I  
have to get my tools and a small shed from Kristi and Lambert's, and  
the bathroom is still a construction zone. We decided to remodel the  
bathroom before we moved in and it has a toilet and a tub, but no  
shower or sink. It is nearly ready to paint and Jim is coming on  
Monday to hook up the sink. So it's close.

So for the first time in 50 years, I am the proud owner of a house,  
not a mobile home. The feeling is amazing and Theresa and I are  
looking forward to spending our lives here.

BTW, our new address is
729 Barclay Ave
Morrisville, PA 19067

And this one you can write in Pen, we intend to stay for a while ;-)
