Hi People, I'd like to thank the Rev. Andrews for his help with the list. I'm almost back. For new folks, I'm the usual list admin, involved in a move. The old house sold (big nightmare: terrible lender!!), moved 550 miles, camped out at parents while waiting for new house to close. Now camping out in new house waiting for furniture to arrive. Other than the buyer's lender, who delayed the sale for 4 days due to incompetancy (don't worry: I think they specialize in ruining the lives of Massachusetts Portagese families....), other nightmares: two cats lost. One in old place (still trying to have her trapped), one went AWOL at my parents (now living under their shed). I also got the names of some movers NOT to use, if anyone wants to avoid bad movers. Once I get my furniture back I may launch a website "WOW, Do these Movers SUCK!". The dog is staying with me and the one cat likes the new place and the lack of the two other cats. So I am now 10 miles from my aging parents and in the area where most all of my genealogy is as well as points south. When the furniture arrives things might start getting back to normal!! I'll have some books to help answer questions on the list. Furniture might come Wed or Thursday. I'm praying. And going out for pizza, hey! I got a good excuse: no refridge, not even a fork! I got 4 spoons but forgot to pack a fork.... I got a plate now thanks to a late night raid on the local Dollar store, but I might as well enjoy the situation.

Glad you made it safely. Will take weeks to unpack. We're glad to have you in W. PA. I think you should write a book. You're so funny. Welcome home.

Good grief!!! I feel bad for you, but you seem to be keeping your spirits up. What a riot - albeit not fun I'm sure! Someday you'll look back and laugh at it all. I hope the rest of the transition goes smoother for you!
