January 1st marked the beginning of the new year and was our one-month milestone. None of us can believe that it has been an entire month since the night of the fire. We also can’t believe we have been living in a hotel for a month. Even with all the searching that our agent and I have done (and millions of phone calls), we only have one decent prospect for a rental house.
In a moment of desperation, I even threw out the idea of living in a travel trailer in our backyard. Burton, of course, loves the idea. The boys, of course, are not big fans of the idea. Being gracious, easy and always supportive, Nana and Papa are okay with whatever we decide.
The friends in my congregation have all been keeping their eyes open for potential rentals while they are out in service (got a call on one today - yeah). So, the search continues. And, although we will miss the new friends we have made at the hotel, we really do need to be in a house.
We had a bit of a scare on Friday. Marley ran into the street (to greet a neighbor) and was run over by a car. He was not hit by the tires, but was rolled under the car a couple times. He has lacerations on his head, paws, and feet. We had the vet check him out and nothing is broken, there were no signs of internal bleed, concussion or bruised lungs. She glued shut the largest cut and gave him some pain pills for the next couple days. Poor puppy!!!!
We are so very fortunate we still have our precious Marley.
Our blessings just keep stacking up, don’t they . . .
