Moving day – a long time coming. I think it’s been like 10 years for my sister. Hoping it all goes well and they settle in happily contentedly. They had the moving team at their house about 9am, and by about 11am they were headed to the new place. Sarah was helping and it was a big help. I had to run down to work but was home in time to meet them at the new house.
I did a load of laundry early, and threw in a dirty potholder. This is what happened. Anyone want a brightly colored hand-made potholder? Assembly required….
The movers were very efficient and had the truck unloaded, the beds and furniture put together, and everything where it belonged by about 1pm. We stopped for lunch, then the movers left and Paul took the truck back. Sarah, Kathy, and I worked all afternoon to unclutter as much as possible. The main bedroom is pretty organized, and the furniture in the living room and dining room are good. There are still boxes to unpack, and my cousin Mark was to stop over and connect everything after work so they have TV, internet and phone.
Kathy and Paul went to get the kids at daycare, and Millie was excited to see the new house. When I left she was having her snack on Paul’s desk, while Paul entertained Wyatt. I came home and cleaned up the remnants of our lunch and finished making a list for tomorrow and Sunday. Still a few things to do. But it was a good day and a lot got done!
June 17 – How did you learn to swim? “I never learned to swim.” That being said, Mom liked the water. They put a pool in at the Shady Lane house, went to Keystone Park all the time, and spent untold time at Presque Isle and Lake Erie. So she didn’t let it intimidate or frighten her!
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Olympic National Park in the state of Washington, and the picture posted was Hurricane Ridge. I’m reading a book set in that area and the author (Tammy L Grace) described it beautifully. Other sights in the park are:
