I made good time coming down this afternoon. I made a pit stop for Danny at Richmond’s Ice Cream in Woodstown. Traffic was moderate. I unpacked the car and unpacked the boxes. I brought the little computer desk but haven’t assembled it yet. I remembered the church was having a music fest but it was only until 6pm and it was out at Town Point. It would have been almost over by the time I got there. I wish I had remembered earlier.

I need to put some hardware up in the yellow room so I can hang my room darkening drapery liners. The street light shines in that room, too. I should have left the new mattress unmade so it could air out. New foam has an odor to it. I will probably sleep on the air mattress tonight. I have one on top of the other so it is higher off the ground. Danny has picked out that bed, too. He is napping and he has his toys up on that bed. I wonder what he will think when I move into the yellow room. I also have to move my clock and lamp into the yellow room or bring another clock and lamp.

I decided not to bring the bed even thought it fits in my car. I wanted to bring as many boxes as I can and let the movers bring the furniture.

Someone came to look at the house this morning. I hope she makes an offer so I can get on with my life. I feel like my life if on hold. My neighbor, Alex, carried the broken air-conditioner out to the curb for me. He has been a good neighbor over the years and has been a big help to me during Ted’s illness and passing.

He has a new girlfriend. I guess she’s not new. He has been seeing her for about six months. I hope things work out for them. She seems very nice.

I forgot my DVD movies. What a bummer. I don’t have the cable hooked up yet and I have an analog TV so I can’t get anything but static or a blue screen. I would like to get a DVR/VCR combination. I saw them at Wal-Mart. I also need a new microwave. The one I have is great for heating up a cup of coffee or some soup but it doesn’t cook very well. I was going to put a chicken pot pie in to cook and saw where it said not to use a microwave with under 1100 watts. I looked at mine and found it only has 600 watts. I wondered why it took so long to cook things. A new TV is on the list, too. When I get my house sold, I’ll be able to get these things.

It’s almost time to take Danny out for his evening stroll.

I loved seeing the pics of the bridge. Does it divide two different cities? I was fascinated with the fact that there was a curve in the bridge. I've never seen any bridge that was like that, they normally are straight,at least any that I've seen are.

Praying that the lady that looked at your house is very interested. Love, Ruth

Hi Ruth,

Chesapeake City is divided by the canal. It is one municipality. I am on the south side but do not live in the municipality. I am a mile to the east. I don't know what municipality I live in. It is only refered to as Cecil County. I have a Chesapeake City Post Office. The north side of the city is refered to as North Chesapeake City. It is mostly residential with two churches and a fire company. It had a big restaurant with marina but it has been closed for several years. I was on the south side taking photos of the north side. I'll have to go to the north side or at least up on the bridge to get some photos of the south side. There are two stairways to the bridge, one on each side with a sidewalk on the east side.

Karol
