Reese Family

We are getting more anxious now rather than excited. Time is going by sometimes both faster and slower at the same time. We have packed our bags now to see what will fit and how much they weigh. Mom and Dad Reese are coming in from Utah today and will be here for ours and Peters setting apart as missionaries. They are also going to attend Courtney's, (our granddaughter's) baptism. We will send the bags back with them to Utah which will save us the expense the airlines charge for baggage.
All the major things we were concerned with are done, we have sold the car and rented the condo which were the last big items we had left to get ready. We now just have a few little things left to do.
This week and last week we added working at the St Joseph's Shelter for women and children. It has been a good experience and it has helped fill the days making time go by faster. We work in the kitchen helping to prepare the food and then set-up and serve. We have been working with a great chef who is originally from the Ukraine and for a while worked on the cruise ships in the Black Sea. Very interesting to get the inside view of working on a cruise ship. Also interesting to hear his views on socialism and how he see us going in that direction and how, having lived under it, it is the way we don't want to go.
