After my morning swim aerobics, Richard and I picked up a load of boxes from our rented storage unit. Except for one, all the boxes were full of books, Now almost all the books are in bookcases. Only 40 or 50 paperbacks still need a place to belong, and we'll probably buy a media stand for them and our videos, DVDs and software discs.

One box we brought home was labeled "Rocks." I couldn't imagine what rocks we might have packed up and moved with us, and this box hadn't been unpacked since we left Dothan, Alabama over two years ago. What a pleasant surprise to find large mineral crystals. Some were specimens given me by my brother and some I had found on my own... gorgeous "rocks!"

This evening after we had our Bible time together, we went across the street for a visit with friends over coffee and pie. They've been here five years and love it. Tomorrow, I go for breakfast with a group of ladies from the community and then will head over to the Apple store in the mall for Mac lessons. When I get home, I plan on some serious house cleaning.

It's good to be alive. God has taken very good care of me and every day here makes me feel more at home.
