Movin' On

Day 1
Saturday, June 20, 2009
The old house is completely empty! No chairs, no beds, no furniture at all!
To my surprise, it’s not nearly as strange as I expected. In fact, it takes me back 30 years. We stood here waiting for our furniture to arrive 30 years ago and it looks just as handsome as it did back then. No, I would say it looks way more “grown-up” and “sophisticated”.
Yes, the house is so empty, there’s not even a place to rest our weary feet. The kids rented trucks, and really did a good job of moving all the furniture out.
Lucky for us that no one wanted the deck furniture. So we have 2 deck chairs in the middle of the kitchen. You can tell they feel completely awkward being here. But my feet were killing me and I needed a chair. And we have a friend who will take the deck furniture. Kim and Dale have always looked after our house when we went away. They came over for a drink the other night, and said they would be happy to take whatever would make our exit neater, tidier, and to the point.
Jeff’s rental truck had a skylight roof – the sunlight was streaming in – we could have had a party in there! Scott’s truck was smaller and we never thought they would fit everything in – but they did.
They were both anxious to get the trucks back ASAP. It was costing them.
We will be SO happy to have internet sure environment. YourLink has been increasingly bizarre – especially on weekends.
