Moving one last time!! (ha ha)

Thursday 13 December 2018

    We finished breakfast around 9am and I packed up and headed to Tioga county to clean out the storage unit. I was just rolling into Williamsport when I noticed thick fog ahead of me.  I slowed down but the fog turned out to be snow, like a white out snow.  It only lasted 15 minutes but the ground had a good half inch covering.  As I headed up Steam Valley the cinder trucks had already

Creative packing

been out and the road produced that fine mist of salt, slop and grit.  I picked up the u-haul in Mansfield and made it to the storage unit by 3pm.  In a light rain I packed the trailer, then the truck bed, then the cab and the last item tied on.  For a time a didn't think it would all fit but as the mud got deeper, the rain picked up and the temperature dropped, I got more creative and carefully packed(crammed) the last of it in.  Even with poor phone service I finally contacted Kate and Tony.  They picked me pick me up and we went to the VFW for wings.

    Kate drove me back to the storage unit around 10am.  I swept out the storage unit, checked out at the office and was on the road by 11:30.  As I drove from Westfield thru Little Marsh/Middlebury Center I really felt like it would be the last time, kind of sad.  Again a steady mist/rain and fog made for a slow miserable drive back.  I arrived in

OK, now it's jammed in.

Dillsburg at 3:30.  Diane met me there and we called Mel and Pere for extra help.  It was after 6pm until we finished unpacking and the truck was still full of stuff.  I returned the trailer and we got back home by 7.  Fish sticks for dinner and a early night for us.

Saturday 15 December

    I unpacked the truck re-arranged the storage bins trying to find a home for all the stuff.  Didn't work.  We still had three large bins to take back to storage unit and a few boxes to drop at Shane's. The highlight of the day was lunch with Bev at TJ Rockwells.  The food was good, as always including the bowl of cream of crab soup I had.  We went to the storage unit to find room for the last of our items and we did.   I guess I'll get smarter as I get older..... but someone that is lactose intolerant should not eat creamy soup!  I'll just say in the middle of rearranging the storage unit I had to leave.  We finally fit everything in and made it home around 5pm.  Grilled cheese for dinner as my body recovers.
