Teenage mutant ninja turtles

My blog, Here I am all moved in and watching General Conference in my cozy new home. I'm afraid to say how much I love my new residence, for fear that I will encounter something that changes my mind (like say finding mice and black widows everywhere-actually haven't seen a one of either so far and I know exactly what to do if I did). All kidding aside, even though it was a real chore moving, I was graced with help from everywhere. First, a donation from Stan and his mom that I had truly been over-worrying about desperately needing; a pickup to use for moving stuff into the storage I that I had available to me at the new place and to aid in the move, including trips to the dump. Stan showed up about 3 days previous to the move with an older Ford pickup truck that I didn’t even know his mom had. Something had prompted him to volunteer it to help with the move (prayer, yep). I was lucky enough to have the help of Joey for most all the heavy work of my moving day and Adrienne, Heather and Art for that same day and for the following day of cleaning. The girls worked so hard and the inside of the old house looked sparkling because of it. That day in addition to doing some of the cleaning Art and I moved refrigerators around in the new residence. We also moved the balance of my small stuff into Highway 49 res(oh while I'm thinking of it my landline phone# is 530-621-3748 for the time being-Adie and Art's previous number-and my address is 2240 Highway 49, Placerville, Ca. 95667) Same cel and email obviously.
Now I'm here with lots of boxes to unpack gradually--as you know the hard part of that is looking for individual things packed up somewhere--It's been 2 days and I finely found the salt and pepper. I feel very fortunate for all the blessings that have come my way during this time. Things have literally fallen into place. I see a kind of new life here. Who knows what that future holds. I have some ideas. Anyway I attached this video of the fam urging Joey in his younger years to sing the Teenage mutant ninja turtles jingle—what do you think of that look on his face introducing the video.
Just want to say that I am convinced that as we do the right thing in life, as we work at improving ourselves and give to others unselfishly, we are blessed way beyond our expectations. That’s my testimony, as we say in the Church, and it is absolutely true!
I love you all

well...i thought the video was kinda going on and on (my own gross voice...) until he finally ACTUALLY SINGS IT!! what a reward. his enunciation is superb. i'm so glad we all knew every one of those oh-so-perceptive lyrics.

glad to see you're back in video-posting business pops. i'll have to come see everything today or tomorrow. i still have to see eddie in his new environment, and also to make sure that you're making it all cute!
