When to write ✍️?

        Polly Joy & Dan talking as I wrote 

Today I'm struck, I just met a man that was a neighbor at Arrowvale, Phil Joe. I looked in my notes I make in my phone, there they were, his and his wife's name and address. As we talked Phil said he was moving, I was sad to hear he was leaving, but his brother is ill with cancer, and he wants to get back before he has an operation, a long with that he just can't find enough work here he said. 

I told him how we had just bought a place here and we're looking for furniture. Phil said he had two chairs and a couch that we could have, not new, but for us they be ok. Well I said we'd come look, and we had finished the cleaning, and breakfast with Joy and Dan, we went to look at the furniture. 

Not new, but sitting here now in this much better rocker it serves the purpose till we make a decision on furniture that we want. 

    Chairs we got off Phil work's perfectly      

I started writing this yesterday, as Joy Dan & Polly were talking, as I had just finished the last of the cleaning on our trailer getting it ready for a viewing in the afternoon. That's why I used the title, "When to write". I believe like a photo, writing is something that when the idea comes, just just a few lines to keep the thought, then finish later. With photos I often take what moves me right away, as the photo may not be there in the next moment. 

We have definitely moved in to our new place now, most everything is put away, adjustments have been done, heat pump is working perfectly, two visits to recharge, and second to find a leak and repair. Moulding I've put back on after it caught my arm when walking by, TV decision is made, on top of the fireplace we inherited with our home. 

Today after realizing the dryer exhaust hose was not hooked up as Polly was doing the laundry first time yesterday, and all the moisture and heat was coming into the house, it was pull out the drier, and see what's happening. Easy fix, lots of pulling and pushing. Polly never stops, until all is good in her house, she'll be tidying and organizing, and chucking stuff out. 

Today I have a hole in hoping to get repaired iny shed floor, and writing about it won't get it fixed, but I do like the writing 😄. 

We're in, and the nest is good, all the little alterations we will do, our trip north will be different than planned, the trailer be staying, hopefully sell before we go, all going good. 

Feeling like a second start in life, at an older age, nothing too easy, and early we have energy, later ahh, tired. 

Love this changing life ❤️
