Adventures in Moving


We all know how stressful moving is! Well, we really know how to make it even more stressful! Here's our moving recipe. First, load several crates loaded with hundreds of sheets of stained glass. Add on a crated church job of six windows that needs to be completed in 2008. Mix in a large diamond grinder, table saw, planer, two large work benches, boxes and boxes of tools. Add five rooms of large furniture (some antique), two leather couches. Place on top vast amounts of artwork collected over twenty years, don't forget Nane's dishes! There you have a 28 foot fully loaded trailer ready for pick-up. We had to prop up a cable wire (with our favorite ladder) in the alley for the semi to make it up. Jack, Tom and Paco took off early that morning to drive across the country, 1800 miles. Good-bye ladder. Good-bye Garfield. I headed up to Spokane for a doctor's appointment. I was facing a lumpectomy on my left girl. I only had insurance in Washington State and the problem was found two days after we closed on our house. So off they went to Illinois and I stayed behind with my good friends, Patty & kids and Karen.
