10 October 2016

We are home at last and have never slowed down. Once arriving in Idaho Falls we immediately negotiated the purchase of a condominium on 815 Linden Place in Idaho Falls.

Plus settling down in the 11^th ward, we spoke in sacrament meeting and reported to the Stake High Council our mission. An additional note, is to inform that John Hoffman ( a good friend of mine) died of cancer. I remember him well and his wonderful wife Nola from Jackson, CA

.

The details of buying a home and trying to ready ours for sale is physically and emotionally difficult not to mention the expense of financing a residence before selling your home is complex. 

Fortunately, the interest rates are low. Dawn and I have worked daily on cleaning, repairing and packing our home on 13^th street. Not to mention painting, storing and fixing up the new purchase. So much to do and we are short on time.

Seeing Woody and Julia has been great and Josh and his family were up to pick up a car from Woody as well as take “stuff” from us to clear out our house.

The weather was warm initially but has rained several days this month. I was able to golf two day before the wet weather. Dawn and I are resuming our membership at the YMCA and rejoining old friends and making new friends.

Walking the Green Belt once more!

As the month nears the end we are planning to move all our belongings to the condo and complete the preparations for marketing our home. Halloween is Monday and then November arrives with an entirely different perspective (elections and all)!
