All This In A Week?: Part 1-I'm Off

It is hard for me to believe that a week ago I was completing my move from Highlands, NC to Maumelle, AR.  I week ago yesterday (Sept 26), the movers loaded all our household belongings & delivered them at our new home on Wed (Sept 28).

I am grateful to so many friends & family members who helped us at the beginning of this adventure.  Thanks to John & Penelope for a great home-cooked meal & bed for a good nights rest after a very long day of moving.  Thanks to my dear sweet daughter-in-luv, Jenny, who met me at our new home with our grand baby-Lauren.  I had a small melt down when I saw how tiny the first "bedroom" was.  It is now a perfect office.  The house sure looked different than it did when I bought it in July & without furniture.  Jenny also made a great "Welcome Home Ann" sign with purple mums, special tea & cookies waiting for me on the kitchen counter.  Yum!!!  Later I went to my dear friend & mentor's home to unload for a couple of days.  LaVern kept Truffle for me while the movers moved me in.  Also, loved that spa tub at the end of moving & unpacking.  Ahhh  :)

Here are some of my first pictures taken from the drivers seat I might add, as I entered my new state-
                        ARKANSAS
  [and my husband doesn't think I can drive &
                           multi-task]

Going from TN to AR across the Mississippi River

I'm now a Arkansan-is that correct?!

As I was going under the sign I yelled out Sooiiee!!   Trying to get in the spirit of things.  I got tickled anyway.  Later I learned that the yell goes like this---Woooo Pig Sooiieee!!  Oh well.   We are now automatically a Razor Back Fan unless were are playing the Georgia Bull Dogs.  Go Dogs!!!

More tomorrow.
