The BIG Labor day move

Well we spent the Labor Day weekend helping the kids move into their new house. Thank God it was only a 3 minute drive from their old house, so we got most of the boxes moved with the little van ( about 15 trips) and then Don and his buddies moved all the furniture in a rental truck. The move was from Wolverine Lake to Wixom, which means we crossed Bennstein road and drove south about 1/2 a mile. The kids will still go to St William's school and they'll even get to ride the bus this year. This is Rachels first year in school so she's all hyped up for it. The new house is really nice and it's in a great neighborhood. The street is a circle and in the middle all the backyards open up onto a big park, with all the things kids need to be happy, swings, slides,bike paths and a firepit for S'mores on the weekend. Most of the house on the park have kids that go to St William and a good assortment of ages so everybody has someone to play with. The bike path takes you down to the private beach and lake, this is where they have spent the first few days at.
Cathy and I are back at the Wayne County Fairgrounds for about a month getting all the medical stuff taken care. Cathy starts receiving her pension this year so we have to get downtown and sign all the paperwork for that. It's about time she started earning her way.
Not much else going on with us right now except that the cable for the cell phone is acting up and we have to rely on the library to get and send email for now but that should be fixed pretty soon.
Everybody take care, those of you down south watch out for the storms.
