People have been asking me how Mom is doing these days, and it has occurred to me that I haven't given an update on her and Aunt Esther for a while.
It's been a little more than 2 months since they were forced to evacuate the house in Magnolia before it burned down. Well, I am very happy to tell you that they are just fine! They found a nice rental house in Houston just 3 miles from Robbie & Maggie. It's been a lot of work for them as they have had to start completely from scratch. That means they have had to shop for and purchase every stick of furniture, every dish, every towel...every THING that goes into making a house complete. Some people might enjoy the opportunity to re-do their decor and do all that shopping...just remember that these two ladies are in their 70's. Aunti has done the majority of the "heavy lifting"in the shopping department since Mom's energy level is pretty limited - she is amazing.
It's been exhausting for them, but it's just about done. They are settling into their new home and learning their way around the new neighborhood. They are getting comfortable in their new digs.
The other day I caught myself before asking Mom to take some pictures of the new house....she hasn't bought a new camera yet. I think I have a good idea for a Christmas gift for them....

Hey! Good news is always welcome. Would that qualify as a good news item for Friday?
