On Wednesday (12th October) Leah and I left for Ireland.. Dad had the keys to his new house and we were going over to help him move. We arrived late Wednesday evening. Thursday was spent shopping for a new cooker, a fridge and a washing machine. By the time we had shopped for these Dad was pretty exhausted.
Friday was spent cleaning the new house.Dad relaxed at home while Leah and I washed windows, washed down walls, kitchen cupboards and floors. The house looked and smelt lovely by the end.
Saturday Kristian arrived. He just arrived through the door when Dad, Leah and I dragged him off to my favourite shop....IKEA. Meanwhile other family members and friends moved the boxes that were already packed, down to the new house. That was such a great help. At Ikea we got dad all the furniture that he needs. Now the work begins! We are so looking forward to getting moved into the new place. It is such a lovely wee house which we are going to turn into a lovely wee home.
In the middle of all this excitement and joy there is sadness. My brother is ill and in hospital so in between all the shopping, cleaning and moving we are running back and forth to the hospital. Those of you that believe in the power of prayer, say a prayer for him.
