Wow, we had an eventful morning.  As I first stepped into the kitchen this morning I noticed a massive “lake” accumulated on the floor.  I got so scared.  Just yesterday we had a service man here to try to repair our heating system, which has not worked since we moved in.  The house has a non-functioning floor heat system.  Yesterday the repairman said he gave the pumps a temporary fix, so the pipes would be under circulated pressure.  I thought there was a leak somewhere and that caused the flooding.  (Need to mention I had to break up the concrete floor in a bedroom already to repair a busted pipe.) But I was very happy to find that the freezer was causing the trouble.  It is just a busted water supply for the ice-maker.  Then a few hours of mopping and we were all happy again:):):):)

As you can see I uploaded some photos here.  I am hoping to get some more on - especially form Wolfe Island very soon.  By the way, if someone could send me telephone umber or email address of the weekly magazine published there that would be great!

Started looking around for a vehicle that can be driven by Jitka when she can easily transfer to and drive a modified car.  I really dislike shopping, especially for cars.  So it will be a very hard thing to do.  Of course need to be done.  I hope she will be able to get around by herself in a few months.   For the time being I lift her out of the wheelchair and place her in our car when we need to drive to her rehab.  I am getting so strong my friends!  Except when it comes to midnight and I need to update this site…..than I feel sleepy. 

Tomorrow I am going to write about our friend Bardia.  Be prepared! 

Back on line!!!  This is Jitka here…..I am ready to take this over now….    Just kidding, she is not ready yet.  She is not ready to read this site for some strange reason. 

Jitka has started her therapy.  She is really gaining strength.  There are some health issues to deal with of course, but generally she is in OK spirit.  I am putting in a concrete walkway for her to get access to the “outside” world.  Working on a few things at the same time to make our new home enjoyable.  Trying to fix up our old home in order to rent it or sell it.  Any buyers?

Days are going very fast.  Getting everybody ready takes a long time!  Kids have no mercy on  me because of the situation!  Absolutely heartless kids!:)  Actually, they are so lovely!  Encsi is a great humorist.  Rowan is a great helper!  He puts his working boots on and helps me a lot!  We installed a drainpipe together.  He managed to get stuck in the mud with his rubber-boots at least once a day.

Well, that is it for today.  Sorry for the short entry.

Night-night! 

Hi,

We are going to have internet connection from the 20th of February.  Jitka will be able to log on and read/write to you.

At this time the move is taking up all our time.  PLEASE don’t ever think I will stop this blog!  I have pictures to share, stories to tell, people to thank!   

With love,

Jani

hello

I am so happy to say that we are moving into our wheelchair accessible place tomorrow.  Finally the floor is done and we can move on one more step.  It has been a challenge for both of us to manage here at our “old” house.  We have some more wonderful people coming tomorrow to help with the move.  It is our 4th move in 3yrs.  Not too bed even for Gypsies, eh?  I think I should have installed wheels on all furniture 3yrs ago. 

Jitka still has her beautiful flowers and cards displayed.  We will move all of those.  If the kids are behaving fine we will take them too.  They sure keep us busy.  I am still looking for a nanny!  Just to keep me loving them, instead of being their ref all the time.

Jit had a rehab appointment yesterday.  She is going to be doing therapies for a few weeks.  Of course she needs to get stronger and develop new skills.  I will be taking her back to the wonderful people of our local hospital.  She had an appointment today with the endocrinologist.  Kal will write in detail about some of the medical issues as soon as he is done with his grammar classes.  (As a new requirement Michigan doctors need to pass a writing skill test.) 

So tomorrow we will move some of our gear into the new place.  Then I will start working on a walkway that wold allow Jit to go out to the street - the gravel is to hard to ride on with the wheelchair.  I guess when that is done, our place will be functional, (or “functionable”, as our leader would say:).  The rest will be a pleasure.  

You won’t believe this, but I was told today I am running low on energy.  But I am certainly not low on help received and offered.  Thank you so so so very much. 

You guys on WOLFE ISLAND do ROCK!!!!!!!!!

Koszi szepen!

 A lot of fun! More pics are coming!
