Emily had a new refrigerator delivered today. The refrigerator they have been using was one that was in the house when they bought it 6 years ago. The ice maker had given up the ghost quite awhile ago and Emily had been talking about getting another one for a couple of years now. While Steve and Pat were here over the weekend, they helped her measure, shop, and get it ordered. Russ stayed over today to help make sure it got delivered and put in OK. They had to remove the baseboard, and it is a tight fit, but it is in there just great. She is so pleased and this evening was busy reloading everything into it and remarking on how much room she has now.  She will even be able to turn on her ice maker in the morning and have ice on demand again. The upper cabinets still need a little fixing to open, and Alan will get those fixed in a couple of days.

Emily also has a new to her car!

The Mercedes that she's been driving for about 6 or 7 years was ready for another loving home. It was one of Russ's old cars - maybe about a 1985 or 86. It was quite fun for her to drive it, but she really needed a more reliable car. Her children know that she will want to drive to see her sisters, her children and grandchildren, and just around town to her normal activities. So over the weekend Russ, Steve and Pat, Alan, and Emily made a trip to B & F Auto to take a look at Volvo's.  There were four there, and she found one that she liked.  Everyone talked it over during the rest of the weekend, and on Monday morning, Russ and Alan took her down and they made a deal.  They even took the Mercedes in on trade!

So Emily has a good refrigerator and a good dependable car.
Please continue to pray that she will be blessed with strength and peace as she goes through this transition to living on her own.
