Hi Barb-- so we are comrades in moving ---- you will be moved well ahead of Peter and me, but we are told that our "cottage" in the new retirement community now a-building here, is to be done before Christmas. Wanna bet? It was originally to be AUGUST--- BUT I DIGRESS. Anyhow, I am getting into the preparations, and can empathize with you 110 %. (NO, that's not new math!) I have temporarily set NOMail on Sparkle and another list I belong to and will soon ask Jeff Jones, co-owner of CARE and Sharon Starr, our CARE listelf, to cover for me there. At some point I'll have to get off PIEN for a while, but not just yet. I need to concentrate on sorting, packing, pitching (that's with a "P" folks)---you know, all that good stuff. And of course somewhere in there I do need to keep on eye on Peter and make sure he gets his multitudinous meds on time. Best wishes to you for your move, when the tiles have cured---and I hope your kitties take it all in stride. Mimi-Ji will, I expect, if I don't forget to pack her tuna snacks! (BTW, she weighs a bit more than 11 lbs.!) >Barb_MSN wrote: > >> FYI..... for those of ya who've been following my upcoming move, I >> thought I'd let ya know that due to my desire to have the lovely >> Spanish tile floor done RIGHT (newly laid tile HAS to cure for a >> day or two before being walked on or having furniture lugged >> 'round on it) >> >> Sooooo... when the contractor called and told me about the "cure" >> (HECK!
