I'm not so sure about this

This is my first time at this blogging thing. I just created a face book account tonight too. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster that only goes down, faster and faster until it crashes. Hope I can keep up with all this techno stuff!

Bill and I are in Memphis, TN, for those of you who have lost track of us. We are only supposed to be here for six months, but we feel very strongly that we will be here longer. We love it here, our ward is great, it's a pretty place and we feel very much at home here. At our age, of course, we should be very settled, with a house almost paid for, a nice retirement nest egg in the bank and a house full of stuff from 37 years of marriage. That's the way it's supposed to work, right? We don't know where we'll be six months from now, we HAVE no house, the retirement nest egg fell out of the nest and we are starting over from scratch trying to furnish our kitchen and rest of the house. Can you imagine not having a wire whisk, or an 8" x 8" baking pan, or a cheese grater, or any number of things I've had to buy lately? We had to buy a bed before we could move into our house. The ward has been VERY generous and we have been given nearly every thing we need. We also go to garage sales, and the want ads have become required reading every day. We've got most of what we need, now we just need to fill in some small things. I have no pictures on this blog yet--I still have to learn how to post them! Be patient with me!
