The moving adventure continues. Dick L. was at the house (Royal Oak parsonage) today, doing more work. Two painters were here all day. Friends Susan S. and Debbie C. were also here being amazing helpers, mainly with organizing the kitchen and generally unpacking boxes and washing and putting things away. They came just because they knew I would need help. I always need help, but I am appreciative of the progress we made with their help!
Everyone managed to work around each other's tasks pretty well too (except for the paint on my pants. Woops!).
Susan is a childhood friend who now lives near Chicago. We have often celebrated birthdays together, as they are one day apart. But she is also good at mothering, so she "made" me go outside for fresh air. My doctor had encouraged exercise at last month's check-up, so I have been trying to walk outside more consistently anyway. Also, I have read that even in the midst of fatigue, exercise is encouraged. So Debbie (from Northville, who is a gifted organizer) kindly took extra time to walk around a few blocks with me. Ahhh...
As for food, Amy T. made vegetable soup which Karen and Patrick's family brought over yesterday. Our neighbor's daughter also made us cookies!

Hi Laura,It sounds like you have a wonderful group of people helping and supporting your move. Hope you are doing okay. I think of you often and would like to see you. Would that be an option? Hope your treatment is going well. Love you, Laura Jo
Glad to read that you are settling into your new home and had some helpers, too. Vegetable soup sounds like a perfect welcome to Royal Oak meal - good comfort food for that settling in process. Thinking of you and praying for you.
So glad that help is there as you
get relocated in your new home. We
hold you, John and James in our
prayers as you make the transition.
Your ministry with us here in Northville lives on in so many
ways. God has blessed. Bob McFarling.
