Christmas, no that won’t work. Anniversary, no it’s the first time for something of this magnitude, although it is the 19th anniversary of my and Louise’s first date.
How about Happy Container Day!
The last needed signature was given today. I actually watched and then they did the verification of contents. Pretty impressive. It only took five weeks!!
So, tomorrow morning we will wake up go to container jail and watch our stuff / junk (after eleven years of use in Togo) be loaded onto local transport trucks and brought to our house! It will be a great day of much needed closure and one that will allow us to put away the chairs made from banana leaves that we’ve been sitting on. Yes, I know, it sounds wonderfully exotic, but it is not so easy on the buns.
So, wish us Happy Container Day and thank God with us that he had mercy and is allowing us a sense of home with the presence in our house of our stuff.
