Our shipment of stuff from the States arrived this morning! This is the shipment that went by sea. It was unloaded in less than two hours, by two young men and their supervisor. They seemed to find it unusual that all I wanted was to have the boxes arranged in piles around the house. Now it’s like Christmas, with all the unwrapping, and the many surprises. We have so much stuff!<\/p>\n
Anita and I haven’t had much trouble with daily life over the past few weeks. Each of us has a few things that we missed, but not much. So it seems odd to bring so much into our lives.<\/p>\n
But with every box I’ve opened, I’ve found things that will make our lives easier. I’m sure it will reach the point where the problems with storing the stuff outweigh the conveniences of having it. I’ll probably reach that point before the end of today!<\/p>\n
