Quick update

Hi All , Tuesday 9 June 8a
Christine here at Scott's office computer. Things are moving along nicely. We moved into the villa last Thursday. Scott has been going into the office and my time is spent getting the villa up and functioning. Spent 1 entire day waiting for deliveries of furniture and appliances and their installation. Ikea was great: they brought the living furniture of brown leather couch and recliner, coffee table and end tables. (yes, Scott finally got his recliner - but he had to move 7,000 miles away to get it) . We selected a good-sized dining table and 4 chairs also. The bedroom has a king sized bed and two night tables and that is it! Ikea's delivery guys took 2 hours to assemble all the furniture and I noted the problems (which have already been taken care of - good service) Then the appliance started to arrive: the cooker (stove) from one place, the washer/dryer from another and the fridge and microwave from still another. Meantime the TV arrives and then the showtime guys come to install the satellite - it was a zoo! The worst part was that it was difficult to communicate with many of them, as English is their second language or maybe third.... It made me realize how isolated Americans are with only 1 language the norm. All of this happened last Tuesday and on Wednesday I spend the day opening boxes and bags of all the things we had purchased in the previous week to set up housekeeping. Had to wash every kitchen item and all the kitchen cabinets, which took the entire day.
Scott here- had to take Christine over to the clinic to get her injections in her wrists for her carpel tunnel and after 1 1/2 hrs I went looking for her. Dr. had her in the room and was just finishing up. She got some meds, her injections, and went and got a bone density test and is now getting blood work. I have to run for a mandatory meeting and so I'm finishing up the blog. Christine returns to PA on Sunday - I miss her already.
Love to all
Scott and Christine
