To Reims and back . . . all in the same day!!

Ouf!!!  That's all I can say after a very long day.  We left home at 8:30.  It took us 4 hours to get to Reims. We left at that time, on purpose so that we would arrive in Reims in time for lunch.  We have a Kebab shop in the little shopping center and we wanted to be able to eat lunch there.  We haven't had  kebabs since we moved.  It was soooo good.

Lamb and spices on a vertical spit. (I got the picture off of the internet) As it turns it grills.  They slice off the cooked meat little by little.

The kebab!!  Yummy. We order ours with Harissa, a very hot sauce.  There are several differents kinds of sauces.

When we got to the house we ate and then started doing the things that we came to do.  We had left a few pieces of furniture at the house that we didn't have room for in this house.  We emptied out the upstairs rooms and put those few things in the garage.

Since we hadn't been back to Reims since our move in December, we wanted to make sure that the yard looked all right.  There were quite a few leaves and we had lost a couple of bushes because of the harder winter we had this year. We got that cleaned up.

Mike had to take care of some banking business.  For some reason, our bank had changed the address on the letter that they sent us (and we found out afterwards, on the checks themselves) but they still sent the checks to the Post Office in REIMS for us to pick them up.  We still need to get that taken care of.  But at least we have checks now. :)

We were able to see the neighbors while we were there.  We were happy that we were able to see all of them.

We got home around 8:30.  The day was very long.  We are still recovering today.  But it was a good trip.  Thanks for praying that we will be able to sell the house soon.  That way we won't have to make that trip again, just to check the house. :)

While I was writing this blog, the phone rang.  It was a man calling from Reims wanting infomation about the house.  Continue praying.
