Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> They're going to have to work it out sometime... sooner is

 RH> That's about the only thing we can do now.

 NB> Yup.   At least for now... :)

And a lot of folks down here are doing so also.

 NB>  NB>> Bill was an adult, making his own decisions, and even a parent
 NB> can't  NB>> change that... Pushing harder might have just made him

 NB> Even without the regrets,  NB>> it's still hard to lose a son, one's
 NB> firstborn, and within a very  NB>> short time of losing one's wife...
 NB> I know it's hard for him to deal  NB>> with it all..

 RH> Yes, and he's fighting health issues of his own. He's got a lot to
 RH> deal with, emotionally, right now but the pastor that did Mom's
 RH> service is visiting him on a regular basis.

 NB> That's likely a very good thing...  It may be just what he needs right
 NB> now... maybe he'll get himself back into the church, too...  :)

Given his health and how long it takes him to get going in the morning,
I wouldn't be too sure of that. Some mornings he goes back for a several
hour's nap right after breakfast.

 NB>  NB>> You'll get there... and as long as you stay motivated, it'll be
 NB>  NB>> sooner than later, I'm sure... :)

 RH> It just seems like it's taking so much longer than I'd thought it
 RH> should. Maybe because this move was a winter one; the last move was a
 RH> late spring one. Also, the last move was when Steve retired from the
 RH> Army so it was a transition to a new phase in our lives.

 NB> And this time you have had some distractions mid-stream as well...
 NB> along with an actual trip... that can make things take longer in
 NB> actual fact, as well as seem even longer...  :)

Yes, and we keep making little tweaks to improve as we go along. Steve
added a couple of shelves to the pantry but I'm stowing some baking
things in it. The K cup holder is also in it; it was under the machine
before. Home canned goods that were in boxes under the buffet are still
in boxes but in the pantry...................you get the idea.

 RH> But, bit by bit, things are getting done.

 NB> And a good thing it is..  :)   Won't be too long before you realize
 NB> that it's finally all done, and all you have left is to enjoy... and
 NB> do the
 NB> ongoing tweaking that seems to usually end up needing to be done... ;)

It'll come, in time, I know and I'll be happy when that time comes.
