Evening Prayer- 8 May 2022

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
It has been a long haul for the three of us
Denise packed (with some help from me and Stella!) over the course of three days
One-hundred-thirty-five boxes later
All of them loaded onto the truck
Loading the UHAUL over the course of a long Saturday and finishing it up today
Despite a torn meniscus, my sweetheart rocked!
She drove our car with Stella while I drove the truck
She was my constant encourager as we drove and at every break
Of course, Stella supervised!

We couldn’t have done this without the awesome help unloading that our sons from Mobile gave us
Am I feeling my age? Uff Dah yes! 61 is too old for this stuff 🤪
As we enjoy a simple convenience store cheese, meat, nuts, and craisins meal with wine and chocolate I am thankful
I am thankful for my beloved, for our kids, for safe travels, and for Motrin
Now as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
Welcome to your new home! I’m glad the move went well overall, and wish you both all the best in the new place!
Unfortunately this is round one… furniture is next and the mover we had lined up may not be available until June. If so, we will find another mover 🤪
Oh, gosh! June?!? That’s too long to wait. Hope you find someone sooner!
So do we!!
