I'm Tired

It's a crazy time to move right now, but that's just what I did.  I found a place in So. Calif., and this last weekend, the kids moved me down there.  I have to start by saying that this post is dedicated to Nel, and as you read along, you'll see why.  She did so many things to make the move more comfortable, and for that, I'm grateful.
 

 

 

I was so relieved that I didn't have to be around any people during this move.  I was worried about that.  Nel had boxes delivered to my house, I packed everything up, and when the movers came, I found this shady tree down the street and sat while taking pictures until they were done.
 

 

You know how frustrating it is to get all the internet, tv, and phone set up after moving in - well, Nel was at the new place a week before and had it taken care of.  She ordered me a new tv cause mine was acting up, and had it set up before I got there.
 

 

 

She replaced all the kitchen cupboards with white liner paper, and that was a chore, to say the least.  There is a brick area on the patio, and she pulled all the weeds by hand between each brick to make it look nicer.   Renecke filled my cupboards with a few groceries, and helped set up the tv and so much more.  Jess drove the long way there, and Brian drove the UHaul.  Traveling over the grapevine, which is called the gateway to northern and southern California, we saw the most beautiful poppies growing wild on the mountains.  Jess described them as God's brush painting the mountains. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We finally got to my place, and while observing the area, I noticed these trees with purple flowers.  Not sure what their name is, but they were so pretty.  Maybe  you could tell me what kind of trees they are.

 

 

 

I made some chocolate chip cookies
a few days before the move.


 

I was glad that I found a place after months of searching, and the best part is it's in the same town as Nel.  About a half hour from the ocean, and 20 minutes from the mountains, I have a view of the mountains from my bedroom window, but this is the best view of all.

 

I'm tired, but I'll be around to visit you.  I need to take a break from all these boxes for awhile, and seeing your blogs is just what I need.   I was a mere 21 years old here with Nel in my arms.  I would have never thought then she'd be taking care of me one day.
