LIVING IN GREENBELT!

I just got in from taking my early morning walk today. I try do do it while Ter is still sleeping.
Our apartment complex is so beautiful. It is buzzing with activity early each day, with people starting out, vehicle after vehicle to go to their jobs. The kids can be seen walking up to catch the school bus meeting and sharing secrets as they wait. The maintenance men and ladies are already busy at work, trimming and cleaning everywhere. This complex is the cleanest and most well kept place I have ever seen. Every morning about 7:00 a.m. they are outside our door sweeping the sidewalks and even the parking lots. They are constantly painting the stripes on the sidewalks, or renavating one apartment or another.

We were blessed to find such a nice place to live until we can get into our permanent home.

The office staff are all very nice people to deal with. Any request that is made is attended to promptly, and they are so friendly, and accomodating to our needs.

The pool will be opening soon, and you can see the workers cleaning around it, and getting prepared for opening day.

As I walk along, I see such a contrast in the skyline. The apartments are located in a nice quiet residential area, and when you look about 2 blocks away, there are huge skyscrapers looming in the distance! I like to take pictures of all of it to share with all of you. Coming from Walworth, New York, a country setting, to a major comunity like this has really stretched us. We can go just about anywhere we want to now, having learned a lot of tricks and short cuts. We even went to a park the othere day with Jules and Seamus, and we all rode on an old fashioned merry-go-round, and then on a small train ride. Such a change in our lives is a good thing. Being with our loved ones though, tops the cake, and makes all of the aggravation and stress of moving all worth it!
I am glad the Lord sent us here, but we do miss all of you....
