back again

I apologize for my deliquency...
My dad called to wish me a happy mothers day and gave me a friendly reminder to update the blog.

So what's new?
Paul has made great progress getting appliances for the apartment. He purchased the stove, refridgerator (mini-sized and NOT frost-free), dishwasher, microwave, washer, and dryer with help from who else but Madame Helleput, of course.

The good news is that the container arrived in the port of Marseilles and should be delivered to the apartment within the next week. No more "living" with only an air mattress, an office chair, and a TV that has only been working for a few days!
