Another adventure in the life of Irene

Here it is....Saturday.....already. It seems to go so quickly nowadays. Used to hear that from "old" people when I was younger and now I know it is true. Maybe it is because we try to get so much living into one day. Anyway, it has been an interesting week and I am preparing myself for big happenings next week...in my mind, that is. Who knows, but the Lord, what is going to take place?

I am going to be the proud (?) owner of the townhome in Lake Placid on Friday. Now I will have two places to stay...to get away from the home area...to be closer to family and their hectic but exciting lives...to meet a new batch of people...to make new friends...how can I begin to list the adventures this second home in Lake Placid is going to open up for me?

It has taken a while for me to decide to do this...and I am, by no means, going to live down there full time, but it is comforting to know I can take Thomas and we can be there whenever we want to be and for however long we want to be. It's a new idea that still has to take a firm hold in my mind. So different.

And, oddly enough, I sign the closing papers on dad's sixth anniversary. I think that means he would approve. I know he would. He would love this place. Although he would be cramped for space on where to do "projects" that he could mess up. But he would be so thrilled with the view and the location and with being closer to the family...of being part of their church and their frinds and their life. He would probably bother them to death. I hope that the family will adjust to my being in their lives more than I have been and that "peace reigns throughout". ha ha. I love the idea of seeing them more. Actually I am really happy about all of this happening.

I am so thankful that there is furniture there already. I can not imagine me moving some of the other furniture down there. When I went in to the bank yesterday to sign the papers, the officer says that if I ever put up the house for sale, that there would be a battle between two officers in that bank. they both have been to my house and they both love it. Good to hear that others love it too.

It has been a little quieter with my son here this week but I have continued walking and staying busy. Anytime, tho, that he can come again, I am ready.

There is really not much more to think, or write, about right now, except the new residence. It completely fills my thinking. Not stressfully, but thoughtfully, and wonderingly. (is that a word?)

btw, I forgot to mention that I played four games with pogo scramble this week and won three. and always had the word that scored the most points. yeah! And, note to daughter, they had words I had never heard of. ha ha
Anyway, so long for now...
