Laura and John rented a tuck and drove down this past weekend to pick up a bedroom suite and sewing machine from my sister, Diana. She has moved from Indianola to Corinth, well, actually, Burnsville, but even I have never heard of Burnsville...they had been sleeping on a futon so I'm sure they are glad to get a bed but the light in Laura's eyes when she saw the sewing machine and it's chest and all the attachments was priceless...no telling what wonderful creations her imagination will come up with...she just might become a fashion designer after all...at least for herself.
I went to Indianola on Monday to help Mama and Mutt pack up...What an experience that was...I found church bullentins from the 60's and 70's stuffed in sacks in the cabinet...I had to throw them away when Mama wasn't looking...I also found a box of letters from Ma and Pa Horis written to each other...those I did NOT throw away. That's one reason it takes so long to pack because you have to go through things and read and remember and wonder...I think Mama has every plastic butter dish and empty jelly jar and avon bottle she ever bought...They had a garage sale on Saturday, but we're going to have another on this "Saturday and pray that we'll get rid of more stuff! I did find Laura's "Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang" Cup that she loved to drink out of when she was little and got it for her. How do you condense a life time of memories and two households from two 2 bedroom houses into one two bedroom apartment? It's not an easy thing to do physically or emotionally. Pray for us all!

we had a fun weekend with you, even though it seemed very short. hopefully next time you won't feel sick. maybe you should get a juicer and start drinking fresh juice along with your herbal tea. maybe you aren't getting all of your vitamins.
we love you!
You sweet girl. The way you do it is, most of your folks life winds up in your basement for the next 10 years...
