Noticeable progress is happening in the packing area. I think they will be mostly gone on time. Kenya is going to give her furniture to my darling daughter.

FOFL. No, I'm sorry to say that I've been land locked and might have to stay that way for another few days, depending on the weather. I have to confess to pampering myself yesterday though. I had a wonderful massage yesterday morning then totally pigging out over lunch with an old friend after that I came back home and had a lovely, long afternoon nap. LOL. Not to worry though, I've gotta keep trying that windsurferbabe thingie until I've had at least one really good ride. :)
LOL! *Smooch*
I think most of the problems are from Kenya's friends and friends of friends.
She is a very sweet girl, and spent 11 of the last 12 years living on the street. Some of the people she had to associate with are flat out scarey! Being a goodhearted person, she is inclined to help them when and where she can, sometimes by cooking them a meal (the Homeless Thanksgiving Dinner we had was fantastic) or letting them crash here on a cold winter's night.
Many of these people just needed a chance to get off the street and get their lives back together. I don't begrudge them that. A surprisingly large number showed up later all cleaned up and clear of eye to thank me for all the help I'd been (!) when really it was more my trust in Kenya that gave them the nudge they needed.
For all the crap I've been through in the last year, it was worth it to KNOW that I have made a real difference in so many lives. I did so little, a place to stay a few days, a warm shower, and chance to do laundry. For some that was all they needed.
People who really want to improve their lives just need someone to give them a chance.
Now it's time for me to take care of me. I'm sure I will be seeing Kenya and Suzanne, and who knows who all else in the future. This way it can be as friends, with fond memories to share and treasure. A few more months and it would be ugly, better to make a clean break before the building stresses make ugly memories that overwhelm the good ones.
