Moving – Three

 

And, this will be the last installment on moving as I’m sure you are as tired of it as I am by now.  I shall start with this bit of practical information – Swearing (and possibly stomping, jumping up and down, and/or screaming) is a necessary thing otherwise you’re likely to run screaming down the street with the guys in the white jackets and nets chasing you.

 So – what’s next after the packing? 

 

One bright HOT Saturday morning my daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, niece, nephew all showed up at my house

 

aaaand we moved stuff.

 

They got all the heavy furniture moved into the new house and placed more-or-less where it would stay.

 Then, I spent a couple weeks moving boxes

 

Unpacking boxes

 

Trying to find places for things that came out of boxes

 

Then, my other daughter came out to spend her vacation (working her patootie off) with me.

 

We moved plants, yard art, windchimes cleaned out the shed, picked up the last few boxes

 

Four – 4 – f-o-u-r truck loads of plants!  Four jam-packed full truckloads of plants!  (I think, perhaps, I was a bit over-zealous with plants)

 We hung pictures, art work, found places for stuff, organized closets and generally made the new house look like I live here.

 We also did some cleaning, patching, painting at the old house.  And, after she left, I continued to patch/paint/clean.

 

Finally I started on the yards.  No fewer than four large branches fell just before and during the storm warning.  Those had to be cut up and stacked for heavy trash.  Picked up a bazillion downed small branches, pulled weeds (dug up a couple more plants) and generally made the yard presentable.

 

If you want to see the house, it’s here –

Now, I feel like this –

 

so I’m taking a couple days off to relax and renew.
