Arriving Home

Finally the first leg of the journey that had just began came to a close - my destination of Joplin was through and through the blessings of God and prayers of many I arrived safely and without incident!

The first order of business was to acquire the keys to my new residence!  This required a call to my sister which ended up in a call to my mother to get the keys.  My mother brought me the keys and soon I was able to see my new 'home' for the first time other than the digital description I had read and digital pictures I had viewed.  The place was perfect and I was forever indebted to my sister (and mother) for all they had been through in getting me the place.  I loved it!

My sister had helped to get the place and all the utilities turned on.  The only complaint in hind sight would be the location.

The next task, was of course to get the truck and trailer unloaded, which I wanted to do before dark.  This what not going to be a necessarily easy task since I had been up driving for over 24 hours, there was a huge set of steps between the driveway and the truck and I was alone to accomplish the task.  I was determined though and finished what I set out to do!  Mission accomplished I began setting up house and setting things the way that I wanted them.
