Here's a brief rundown of the first week
Friday
- It rained Thursday night, but it stopped by 6:30 Friday AM
- The truck & crew arrived around 8:30AM
- With only a couple of minor glitches we had everything loaded and ready to go by 1pm
- My parents finished the clean up while we hit the road
- We got to Orilla, picked up the key, helped unload the truck, & we were finished by 5:30pm
- A number of people from OCC came by to help with the unloading, brought some groceries and dinner in - 8 people around our dining room table for the first meal - it felt like home.
- It started to rain around 6:30pm - we had a dry move.
- Later that evening, Joel got the first phone call.
- A couple more families came by, including our friends, Sam & Myrna from Gravenhurst
- We had supper with another family from OCC
- I was moving a little slow - I pulled a muscle in my back moving a sofa couch out of our house in Waterloo - we left it there. Those things should be banned!
- We went to OCC & I didn't have to preach... just was there with the folks
- My first, official day - moving stuff around, unpacking, a couple more folks dropped around, read some sitting in our backyard with lots of perennials
- Went for a walk down to the Lake
- Discovered that our carefully drained and wound hoses were left behind in a garbage bag - and so are now well bedded in the Waterloo Region Landfill
- My first day in the office
- Got acquanited with a bunch of stuff - Brenda is great
- In the afternoon, Janice & I made the rounds to City Hall, Orillia Power, and bought a bunch of little things we needed for the house
- A quiet AM, Brenda is only in, 3 days a week
- Got a start on the message for Sunday
- Reviewed some documents
- My first Leadership Team meeting
- I was in Mississauga, teaching an Access course
- Almost finished the message
- Headed out to an Irish Ceilidh - great fun - too bad my back prevented me from joining in the dancing
