April 1, 2015. Ridgeland, MS. Progress.

We ate our first dinner in our new home with Kate, Mary Frances, Molly and Christina. Much progress had been made. Yesterday afternoon at 4:00 we had a pleasant settlement and we came home with the keys to the new home. By 7:00 this morning, the painter was ready to start. The whole interior of the home is being painted so it is a big job. In addition, several tasks were still being completed from the contract so we had workmen at the house all day. In addition, the bed arrived and was set up. which forever after after will be called Wendy's Room.. Christina made the bed so it is ready and waiting. Of course, we have no furniture in the room, except the bed. A lawn man has been hired to maintain the yard throughout the year. On closer inspection, the house is much better than we had anticipated. We did not even see the book cases and the nooks and crannies. So we are pleased. The house was clean and ready to be painted. This afternoon, Kate brought the Escape for Wendy and they unloaded the truck, so we have three chairs only. For dinner tonight, the girls sat on the floor for dinner eating our Chinese food. Much progress has been made already but more is to come. We are pleased.
