Aloha Garden of Peace

It is nearly 1 am on Friday night.  Originally, we were going to go to Cal-Earth Institute (www.calearth.org) tomorrow morning, but we have pushed that out to Sunday afternoon, after lunch.  That will allow us to attend the Living Love celebration of Mother’s Day at Broadview tomorrow morning and church on Sunday and give us more time to pack the apartment and leave a livable space for Ame.  Ame is our friend and it is so wonderful that she is the new renter for the apartment we are about to vacate.  Her being here is truly God’s working out, as none of us could have planned it.  Maybe two weeks before our trip to Portland and Hawaii, she asked if we knew of any leads on apartments.  She ended up housesitting for us while we were gone and decided to stay and sign the papers for her to rent the place!  She was here for three days before we left, and we have been/will be here for an approximate total of seven days before heading to Cal Earth.  We are bequeathing to Ame 90% of our furniture for her to keep.  The other 10%, she can use or not use.  Either way, she has agreed to store our stuff for us until we come back for it, in about a year or less (we hope).

We made a lot of progress today and in the past few days.  We still need to pack the kitchen, bathroom, and other miscellaneous areas.  The living room is still filled with boxes!  I love you all and will try to keep you updated as much as possible!
