All Settled

It is hard to believe that we have already been here a whole week. John, however, says it feels like a month so for me time seems to fly by but for him, it is slowly ticking. Our days have been filled with things that we already went through the last time we were here. We did manage to get out of the food safe class seeing as how we did that the last time. We went to another class today because we did not remember if we took it before. We did. Zzzzzzzzz Oh well, a little refresher does not hurt anybody. I did learn that we need to get some sun screen cause UV rays can aggravate graph vs. host so there you have it. Not a total waste of time.

Here is a tour of our digs:


This is the view off our balcony. The other day, I watched as a couple of homeless people rooted through the garbage. There are a lot of homeless in the area. The other morning somebody was sleeping in the door alcove of the derelict building across the street from the front entrance of our apartment building. The area is a real mix of run down and abandoned buildings and very nice buildings. The people in the area are just as varied. There is constant traffic down the back lane as a huge gym is just down the way and access to the parking garage is down the lane. Also, there is construction next door and all the cement trucks and such make there way down the lane. The good news is that they don't start work until seven in the morning and quit around five. The I-5 runs just across the street from this building. Surprisingly we are getting used to the noise of that.

This is my attempt at beautifying the view. Hrumph! This plant cost me twenty dollars. Around this time in Saskatoon, I would have only had to pay half of that. It does cheer me up so it was worth it and I think I can keep it alive until we have to go home. I will give you all progress reports on the health of the plant. I am sure you are really concerned and will wait with baited breath for that.


Anyhoo, I am sure next week will be very busy. David will be here by September first and the transplant takes place on September 9th. I will update when I have anything to tell you. So far, there is not much to say. It has all been pretty redundant.

Take care and thanks for praying.
