November 29, 2010. Artemas, Pa. The Farm.

As usual, arriving at the farm always pleases me. Yesterday was no exception. We arrived after a second eight hour day long drive. It is probably not a good idea being in the car for eight hours for two days running, but we wanted to see if being on the road only one night was possible, and it is. We started driving at seven and arrived at three. We prefer to drive only one long day and part of two days but now we know it can be done.

The farm looks lovely. The fields are green and the cattle look fat. Everyone in the Jay family is healthy. Alan has a cheque for us from cutting more wood. Tammy made progress on our furniture. The double bed is gone and the couches and chairs downstairs are gone too so we are ready to change the lower level into a use able space. Gloria will fix it while we are gone. God willing. I am prowling around the house, making the spaces for when we live here. I have moved my clothes upstairs into the closet and re-organized the closet in our bedroom, to make room for Ken's clothes. I gave all the blue willow dishes to Tammy from the farm house and I will bring our kitchen dishes given to me by Miss. Tomlinson for use by us in the hill house and take the hill house dishes to the farm house. You can see I am getting the wheels in motion to move us up to the farm.

Ken has changed our change of address to many organizations, even though we do not actually move until March. We will be in Mexico and Texas for all of December, January and February so we want to be ready in March. Our apartment will go on sale in February but we will move whether it is sold or not. We are ready for the next mountain to climb.
