Arizona

We have arrived in Arizona following a rather uneventful trip other than when we were caught in a major storm in New Mexico which started with rain so hard I had to pull off the road and wait for the worst of it to pass.  The Prof couldn't stop because there was no one ahead of him that he could see and he didn't want to have someone run into the back of him because they couldn't see him.  It was nasty, then we encountered hail and then a dirt storm that also brought the visibility to zero.  Fortunately it didn't last very long and no major problems, but it was scary anyway!

We got to the house and C had been here all day working with the movers and the furniture delivery guys from the bed shop with no air conditioning working!  It was so hot for them, it was awful.  Fortunately she got a hold of the property manager and he got the air conditioning guy here so by the time we arrived there was air!  Bless her heart.  That along with all the work she had done at the house, it saved me hours and was so wonderful to have done and the cold Pepsi in the refrig was fabulous!  Pizza for dinner was also a great treat.  How do you ever say thank you for that kind of help and have it mean something, it was terrific.

We worked until late last night to get some stuff in place and then got a good start today, tomorrow we certainly hope to have the boxes all unpacked so that we know where everything is.

This afternoon we went furniture shopping at a discount shop, then Sam Levitts and ended up at the store that H told us to go to, Levitts clearance center.  Fortunately we got the sofa, love seat, chaise lounge recliner, two side tables and a coffee table, kitchen table and 6 chairs all at a great price!  Thanks H, now come over on Tuesday and see them.

Mercy is getting used to the house, it took awhile with all the people in and out and the different noises and all that stuff, but tonight she is wandering around and not running away when she hears something new.  By the end of the week she should be back to normal!

Now it's off to bed, don't know when the Prof will get to bed, he's working on computers.
