A Big Move...
May 29, 2007
Sorry that I haven't been in contact with my friends on my space or blogger. I was given a Notice to Vacate my home where I have been living for over six years. My landlord, who hasn't been in contact with me for 6 or 7 months issued the notice. Her daughter is moving in July 1, 2007. I tried getting in touch with my landlord but got her daughter's number. Then my landlord called and said she was sorry for doing this. That was Saturday morning, 5/26
A red pickup came by and a man handed me an envelope. I was just watering the beautiful green lawn and planting my flowers when he showed up. Sunday, I went to church, lead worship and the church prayed for me to find a home. Monday came around and with a tip from a salesman at a nearby gas station I went over to a vacant house a mile away. Praise the Lord. I will be moving in two weeks time. The house is the same size as mine with one large room in front..,living, kitchen, two bedrooms, etc and fenced area for my two dogs.
I was so upset Saturday, thinking about my pets and two cats that I keep indoors. I didn't want to get rid of my pets because most rental place don't accept any pets. Well, the owner used to live in the house that I will be moving to. She and her husband own a little convenience, grocery store just a couple hundred feet in front. They built a new house behind the store. There is no grass, though and I'll try to put in some sod and maybe a tree so they'll be shade.
I took cuttings off the Virginia creeper to replant. They'll grow nicely on the chain link fence. That should help with shade for now.
Anyway, I can move in right away. How cool is this anyway?

The house has ticks ! 
Yes. Those ugly ticks were all over the place. I told the landlord but she didn't believe me. She had called the pest man and he said they were just weevils. No, I said they were ticks. Still to this date, July 5, 2007, there are still those little buggers around. I will tell the landlord one more time. I hope we can get the place sprayed. I also talked with the landlord and she told me to forget about the rent for July since I was having so much trouble with the bugs. "You shouldn't have to put up with this" , she said. I agreed. I have two cats and two dogs and don't want any of them to get infested.
