Today I started unboxing air freight that arrived yesterday. Haven't quite gotten that done yet. At 4:30, the door bell rang and a new refrigerator was outside the door. Our fridge was dead and we have been living with our cooler out the back door to keep things cold.
The delivery man, handy man, the landlord couple, and sister of the landlord arrived and tromped in with wet shoes and all had to help get the new fridge in place. All were speaking german. We all went into the bathroom to determine where the shower head should go.. omg, I need to figure out this language.
After they all left, Pete arrived and said we're going to Ikea to get light fixtures so the handyman can install them tomorrow. See, all the walls in the apt are cement walls so the landlord wants only real handymen hanging curtains, installing light fixtures, etc. Mark Kelsey would be a busy man here!
After 2 hours at Ikea, we were glazed over but had all we needed for the Saturday installation. And Pete had everything needed to hookup the computer and internet. He surprised me with "live" MPR - we are listening to All Things Considered as we write this! You can't believe how great this is. Flowers yesterday and MPR today. This girl is happy.
Tschuss! (bye!)

Mom, Dad,
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to Midmorning right now. I decided to take a break from my non-stop stream of MPR's The Current, to listen to Kerri Miller. I'm imagining this being on in every room of our Brookings house during the day. Miss you.
XOXO, Emmy
