We are settling in, our pack up and load went ok, they sent 1 person to pack up the house, crazy, so I worked my but off helping. I can't remember ever feeling so exhausted, it took trips with the car on the last day to get everything brought to the trailer. What allot of work, I am nearly done organizing everything, the place is taking shape finally and I am feeling less over whelmed. On the Friday night that we did our final move here we just put away the perishables and left the rest, when I went to bed that night my whole body was shaking, when I awoke in the night I was still shaking like crazy, so back to bed I went till 7 in the morning, I felt much better after that.
Most of the people here are very nice, there are a few smart asses, but you get them no matter where you are.
I sprained my ankle a week and a half ago and it is doing better, I did a walk this after with no discomfort, so that's great, I can get back to exercising. If the weather ever clears up long enough I may even get in for a swim.

Well only a few more boxes to take to the trailer and that will be in, the movers come on Thursday to do the pack up and load on Friday.
I had another successful yard sale, came home with only 2 small boxes and another couple of hundred dollars, yippeeeeee.
I have been working on the sale of our Villa in Australia, getting the quotes for a paint and clean up of the rear yard, should be done and ready to go in a week or so. Just need to find a new place over there.
We had a nice chicken BBQ at the trailer park on the weekend, profits went to a Children's camp for kids with cancer. As I was going to the garbage bin I rolled my ankle on a pebble and sprained it, grrr not a good time for this to happen. The Dr at Perth hospital was wonderful, quick and thorough, said to rest it and ice it for a few days, will begin walking on it again today, need to finish the packing and be ready for Thursday.
My neighbor brought me some lasagna last night for dinner so that was lovely, I just had to get Chuck's ready, I had him pick up a chicken so, he got to have it with potatoes and vegetables, trying to be creative with whats left in the refrigerator, so as not to have to much left in there by the load up.
I guess this ankle is going to slow down my exercising but I will endeavor to get in swimming starting on Monday.

The time is really flying by now, just spent a few days with our youngest grand-daughter Keyra, she sure kept me busy, we had a little birthday dinner for her and gave her our present, a new tablet so she can skype us in Australia. She took it with her nearly everywhere and took lots of photos and videos that were narrated by her. lol She went fishing played at the beach, played games and went for walks with me. I even took her to see her wonderful friend Olive, they same birthdays in the same month. Olive is 102 and Keyra is 8. Such a joy to see the way they interact together.

We only have a week left in this house and then its on to new adventures. I really need to get more active again and get some exercise, I have my water shoes now so no excuse, I must swim more and get out walking early in the mornings before it gets to warm.
We had a lovely day on Canada Day my son and his family came out and so did my daughter, it was a nice surprise, they all got to see where we will be living, I think it met with their approval. I am looking forward to having the time to spend doing some painting and relaxing after the final pack up.
I have been so busy doing 2 moves, selling a house here, buying a place here for the summers and now we are selling our house in Australia and looking for a place to live in there. To much going on. I did sell my car yesterday so one more thing off my plate.
