May 31, 2011. Artemas, PA. Almost Complete.

After one load to Goodwill and another to the re-cycle, our new life at the farm will begin.   I am thrilled with our progress.   Now the farm looks like home, not our weekend place in the country.    The pictures are all hung, also the family photographs.   And the photos that were sitting on the table in the library are distributed around the house on various chests and tables.  The laundry room is certainly unusual with family pictures gracing the walls.  It is spectacular.  I might even iron!!

Of course, we are not perfect.  The Internet man could not fix the dish, but he will return tomorrow  to bring a new dish.  Evidently, the storm zapped it.  And Pete is working on our electrical problems as we speak, so soon we will be perfect.  When the weather gets cooler, we will burn all our trash, then we will be done with organizing and get on with our life.

We arrived at noon on Friday, and now the house is in order.  Only Ken's two desks need his attention.   It has taken us four days to make sense out of our mess.   I am interested with the compulsion to get things in order.  We visited a friend who is 86 who had not organized her space for twenty years  and here we are, working like crazy people all day to put our place in order.   Perhaps seeing her unkempt home when in Galveston has spurred us along to a state of   calm.  Anyway, I am pleased with our progress.  Now we are done!!
