Our boxes arrive at 9:30AM. What a treat! It’s like Christmas. The apartment is a mess again but we had to open each one to see if anything was damaged. All was O.K. We celebrated with a champagne brunch - what fun! The afternoon finds us back at IKEA purchasing a bed for bedroom 2.

I venture quickly in the early AM to the market and back home to wait for our boxes. Late morning we are told they are in customs now and would be delivered Monday or Tuesday, next week. David pleaded to get them delivered this afternoon and they said they would try??
It’s 4:30PM. My intercom rings. I answer and it is TNT Express with our shipment. I push the key to unlock the lobby door telling the rustling below and assume he is making our delivery via the elevator.
I’m so excited! What’s taking so long? Out of curiosity, I gaze out my front bedroom window to the street to see if he is unloading them, only to see the truck driving away. I phone David and after several phone calls to the company, we find the driver refused to deliver to the 3rd floor. They say he no longer has a job????

Chase’s birthday. It was to be the day of delivery of our boxes from the U.S. No, the carrier calls late afternoon. The boxes are at Charles De Gaulle airport but the need more paperwork to justify our residence in France. David faxes the paperwork and delivery is scheduled for Friday.
