We're Back!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Well, we made it home from Texas, LOL, in one weary body each. First,

we get snow! In Texas! It was 29 degrees and we couldn't work because

the house was without heat or electricity. Pneumonia wasn't on our

list of wants at the time. We spent two days, including Sunday after

church, for which my grandmother would have shrieked, working to get

started on the clean out of the house. You would not believe the

sight that met our eyes! This house is ancient, and worn down, and,

in my opinion needed to be condemned or razed, before one of the

owners of this group, Mama T, ever rented it in the first place. This

regardless that in its prime it was an awesome place, I'm sure. The

house was ransacked when we got there, we're sure by vandals. It was

also overtaken by rats, which, I guarantee you, was not what we

wanted to see when we got there.

We did what we could, and pray that in another day the worry that we

left behind there will be no more. As much was sold as was packed or

thrown away. We stayed up, two days straight without sleep searching

for several things in the mishmash. When we found those things, and

then packed away as much as could be managed and also putting as much

as we couldn't carry into storage, and then selling everything, we'd

been awake at the end for 72 long, tiring hours. And then, after a

very short five hours of rest we headed home. We had to stop in

Alabama for a few hours and then came home at long last. Two days

later than we wanted to be, missing two important days for both of

us, including part of St. 's Day celebrations in Savannah and

my son's and my birthdays. We got home about six hours before my

birthday was officially over with. I was so tired, I couldn't even

eat cake and ice cream for the belated celebration of my son's

birthday, which was on Friday. Mine was yesterday. I am still

physically beyond exhaustion, bruised and more. At this point I

continue to sneeze out dust and dirt from that disaster zone.

A very tired and weary,

Oh what an escapade. So sorry to hear of such misery for you two. I think I

could have dealt with everything except the rats. I HATE rodents. I am

terrified of them.

No, come to think of it, I would not deal well without sleep for 72 hours

either. I just cannot imagine that. I don't know how you drove back home. And

what a fluke that at that particular time it would snow in Texas and be 29

degrees.

I guess you both need to stay in bed for about a week or so now. I cannot

imagine the exhaustion and pain.

Glad you are both safe,

love and hugs,
