Moving Is Not For The Faint Of Heart
It had been 38 years since I had moved and I had no idea what would transpire. The kids convinced me we all needed to move in together and now was the time.
Two huge trucks pulled up in our driveways and started loading at 9 AM in the morning. They finished at 6:30. Then they told us the news: We can’t really get everything in today so we will have to come back tomorrow. They did unload 2 beds and a sofa at the new house. The next morning they started to unload and it was like a grade B movie. We were trying to tell them where to put things. We ended up with a 3 car gargage full of boxes. We cannot park our cars in there as of now.
That night I could not find any of my undies as I had marked everything! We called our friend Sonya and she came out and we still could not find them. Fortunately, I had packed a few things in my little suitcase. But the next day I was at WalMart bright and early to get unmentionables. That was a week ago and I just found them last night. Whew! I could envision finding them in 5 years out in the garage and that I had lost weight and could no longer wear them. Well. Jockey’s do last a long time!
The first thing that greeted me in the new house was a little Billy Martin lizard. Thank the Lord I am not afraid of them and will probably be okay with the co-habitation ! I don’t think they will get in bed with you.
Today we are still unpacking and will likely be doing that for a long, long, time. We have met 2 neighbors and they seem really nice.
Thank God for our friends at church who have helped us move. People who need people are the luckiest people in the world!
