Getting Settled

Here we are in our Pittsburgh condominium, more or less settled, starting to put pictures on the wall, still with a garage-full of things that we brought with us, but still haven't found places to put them. Our daughters have been wonderful through all of this, getting their parents ensconced in their new home, making frequent trips to this place to help and comfort us and giving us great advice about what to do. We are very fortunate to be in this place with this family of ours.

Finding stores and places is easier since we have been in this area before, but in the eleven years since we left Pittsburgh, there have been many changes. We drove around the other day and discovered many things that we didn't know about.

Our condominium complex is comfortable and is full of many widows and single women. We are one of several couples in this place and are looking forward to getting to know our neighbors. We went to the Memorial day pool party that the people created, but we didn't stay long. It was good to see a few people and put some faces to the names that we have come to know.

We went to a Pittsburgh retired clergy luncheon in Monroeville and got to see a lot of old friends. George Werner, Charlie Martin, Bishop Walter Righter, John Thomas and many others. It was great to reconnect with them. I told Bishop Ken Price, our interim bishop, that I could do some supply work. I would love to do that.
