More Moving

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 72 degrees, high 97 degrees, mostly clear

We had another early start today as we continued the process of getting Terri into her apartment. The only furniture left to move now is the washer and dryer, which we probably won't move until near the end of the week. All of the groceries have been moved except for the refrigerator and freezer stuff, which we will move tomorrow. We'll also move Terri's clothes and personal stuff tomorrow.

One of the first things we did at the apartment today was to set up the TVs and DVD player. It is amazing how dependent as a society we have become on those electronics. Carolyn and I are as addicted to those machines as anyone else, so this is not a put down of anyone. Does anyone remember 40-50 years ago, where the front porch was used for sitting and relaxing in the evening? A lot of people had TVs, but no one had any of the other electronics that we all look at as necessities today. Kids stayed outside playing instead of sitting in front of the TV or playing video games all day. It's not a mystery why a large percentage of our society is overweight and has medical problems stemming from their weight and lack of exercise.

Okay, that's enough of those thoughts.

After getting finished with the electronics, we hung some pictures in Thomas's bedroom. For some reason I can't figure out, the kid is a big fan of the Alabama football team. He has two expensive prints by Daniel Moore, apparently a well known artist of pictures of Alabama football exploits. One of those prints is titled "Rebirth In The Swamp", and shows one of the scenes of an Alabama victory over Florida at the Florida football stadium. I can't stand that picture. I keep telling him that we need to put that picture in the closet so people won't have to look at it. For some reason, he's not buying that. I'll keep working on him. Maybe he'll come to his senses.

More later, be safe.
