High Speed Woes
Yes we are all alive! :-)
Sorry to all for our delay in writing but as the title says... Finally it seems as if we are connected and up and running. More like running into boxes.
The drive after the ferry was filled with statements such as, "Pippa, put on your belt." "Pippa, please, put on your belt." "Put on you belt NOW." And the best retort of all, "Will you stop screaming in the car when I'm passing at 145km!" As you can tell it was a long and scream filled trip.
We arrived safe with boxes upon boxes to get out. It was a tough day followed by a rough night. The next day was not much better as we finally saw the enormity of what was needed. We spent the morning doing the IKEA dance with the toolset and realized that one piece was not what we wanted and that two others had problems size wise (if you haven't seen IKEA it's a big showroom followed by 4 story bins of boxed items seen in the showroom; if my explanation seems bazaar you should see IKEA).
That afternoon we went and picked up Andrew. He arrived but without a bag. It was yet another bump in an already bumpy road (reminds me of the road to Old Fort after the grater has been by). But on the positive side it made room for a big shopping in Fredericton.
The next day it was shopping in Woodstock and today in the villages of Florenceville and Bristol. We're shoped out!!!! Mattresses and dressers for the boys arrived today and beds will come in a week. The internet package arrived today as well but couldn't be activated until after 8:00pm, yet my computer wouldn't read the disk. So I had to jimmi the kid's computer disk drive to the main PC and that did the trick: 'cause here I be :-p
The parish is great and there has been a steady stream of visitors to the rectory. A couple came over from Juniper (30 mins away) today, and yesterday after the Bible Study at the church women from Florenceville and Bristol came over for a visit. Each time wonderful backed goods have come our way and my waist, I fear, is going to get wider and wider.
I'll blog more in the coming days of the adventure as it unfolds.
Many blessings to all
