Hi all, Sorry we have not been blogging but we have not had access to the internet. We were told 2 weeks ago that we would be on today but I phoned and they said target date is Aug. 18, TWO MORE WEEKS!! We also do not know anyone that is on the internet, they all text here to communicate. It is very different here as far as hook ups and things, like delivery of beds, 3 weeks so far. I will have so much to say and show you all by the time we get on so be ready! Bye for now.
