We started this process in the summer and it is now the middle of October.
We, the children helping him, have decided that Dad has moving ADD. He cannot seem to finish a room. He jumps around and starts things but doesn't get them finished.
Here are a few pictures from the adventures.
The last moving weekend was rough on all of us. There has been a lot moved already, but there is still much to be done.
We have reached the point that most of the stuff is going to Good Will or being trashed.
We are hunting for a few specific items that I hope we will find soon. One is a train belonging to Dad. We all know what it is but have no idea where it got put.
This trailer and I are not friends.
I am still in pain from this trailer.
We all know that I am a particularly graceful person.
(At this point you should all be laughing)
I was taking something to be packed into the trailer and I attempted to step into the trailer, my foot slipped and I slammed my shin into the edge of the trailer, because of my momentum, I fell face first into the trailer.
Surprisingly the only injury I received was a very nasty, very deep bruise on my shin. *Bad enough that a week later I was still limping and went to have it x-rayed......I'm a pansy.
We got most of the larger items moved and the house is no longer livable. We will be crashing at the new place from now on.
Peter laughed at me saying "You were afraid even with me there?"
I replied, "Yes and when I woke up in the middle of the night, I kept my eyes closed and readjusted myself to a comfy position because I was afraid of what I might see if I opened my eyes."
Even as I write this I have the shivers. I'm a pansy.
We have one more scheduled weekend for moving although, I do not know how much we will get done.....it is proving to be a busy weekend other than moving activities because my other sister will be home from the state of sunshine and oranges.
She is a pansy too.
The other day I talked to her and the weather up here was a beautiful sunny 68 degrees. It was the same down there and she said it was freezing.
Pansy.
When we are finished moving Dad it will be hard to say goodbye to the house, even with it's ectoplasmic inhabitants. This move opens a wonderful new chapter in all of our lives, because Dad and Theresa have decided to get married. This will be an adventure I know we will have a blast on.
