About 2 hours after my last post, we looked at the weather and decided to check out of the hotel and head for home. We got into Ridgeland around 11 PM with only light showers for the last hour. We unloaded the essentials and called it a night.
Hurricane Ida came through sometime during the night – the fence gate banged open, but no damage. In the neighborhood lots of pine straw on the street, but I didn’t see much else when I went over to Ruby’s. We sat out on her covered patio and watched the rain. It reminded me of sitting on my grandparent’s screen porch when Camille came in.
Tuesday morning was the big day. The moving truck arrived. Since I’m on a cul-de-sac, the driver had to back in. It probably took them 4 hours to unload the truck. I’m not doing much unpacking since there is so much work to be done on the house. The bed is made and that’s about all I’ve gotten done.
The electricians have been rescheduled for next Tuesday. They have work to do due to Ida, and quite frankly I could use the time to clear out the bonus room. All the garage stuff ended up in the bonus room and I’ve got to figure out where to put it to get it out of the way.
Today, after paying my bills I’m off to order a washer and dryer and maybe buy a small microwave.
Glad you and the babies made it safely!
