April 15 - ?? Our Casa Grande House

May 6:  We are back in Casa Grande after almost a week absence while we were in Kansas for the wedding of our niece, Karen.

 (It seemed strange to make a trip by car and do the motel thing.)  Besides enjoying the family time and a beautiful wedding, we also met our grand-niece Addison for the first time.

Now it's back to work on the house!

April 22  It's been a week since we received keys to our long-awaited house in Casa Grande, AZ. After doing a fairly deep cleaning,  we started moving almost all the trailer contents here to the house.  This week was delivery week....living room, bedroom and and dining room furniture, a new refrigerator.  We have yet to start on the floor or do any painting, but there is plenty of time to tend to that.  For now, we are loving life here.

March 24 - ??? Sundance RV Park (Casa Grande, AZ)

Thursday, April 2 - We hurried back from Texas so we could close on our house on the 25th.  The plan was for occupancy possibly Friday the 27, but more probably Monday the 30th.  Today is April 2 and there is no longer talk of "probably."  Each day the qualifying statement has been "maybe."  No really clear explanation as to the delay in getting keys has been offered.  Depending on the day, it has been the fault of the Title Company or the Seller.  Never the Realtor or us, of course.  Ahh, for every XXX number of  real estate transactions, one doesn't go according to plan, and that be us.  Gary and Samm drove 1700 miles to bring our car to us, arriving on Tuesday.  We had planned to use their decorating sense and sheer young strength to help get us launched.  Only 3 days left of their visit after today.   So they have mostly escaped our diabolical plan, and the choices and workmanship will have to be our own. I think it was the collective wisdom of the children that we not be left without supervision as we go about decorating.
