We stand on the brink of madness, my friends...

We are practically delirious.

It seems the more we do, the more there IS to do...

A kind neighbor just came by to pick up more stuff she had bought yesterday...and she gave Pen and me chair massages. I didn't realize how tense I was.

We have filled the dumpster and can't use it anymore...Brad smashed the stuff down with a sledgehammer so we wouldn't be trespassing the limits. They are coming to haul it away tomorrow and we have hired some folks to come in and haul away the rest of the leftover yardsale stuff. There's just NO way we can do this all ourselves. People, I cannot describe to you the magnitude of junk we have here...It defies description. I want to run awaaaaay! But I am reminded of what Aunt Sharon says, and I paraphrase here, " Whatever HAS to get done, WILL get done." Wisdom to live by. In a way, I'm glad we didn't allow two weeks for this...because then it would have TAKEN two weeks...work expands to fill the time. As it is, we have a deadline, and even if we're frantic and exhausted, we WILL be on the plane on Saturday morning,...well, God willing, of course.

ETERNAL BLESSINGS on Dawn Rickerd who came and helped us pack for a while this afternoon. Hurray! THANKYOU!

We were also visited by Mike Pass - a local cousin- who came with his two kids and shared some family lore -- pretty fascinating stuff.

We found a MOUSE SKELETON in the Family Room behind where the freezer was...I have it on videotape.

Okay- I can sense time slipping by...I need to get back to work before the others realize how slackerish I'm being...

Bless your little hearts! Or BIG hearts, rather! May you find every ounce of supernatural energy and grace you need for the whole week for everything that needs to be done! Love you guys. :-)

Amen! I just found your plea for prayer, Claire, and it's on its way!

Well, apparently you need a lot of prayer, because I just posted this comment THREE times. :O)
