So yesterday was moving day in Bonsal.  The movers arrived about 9:30.  Everything was packed and ready to go.  The 53-foot trailer on the moving truck could not fit down our driveway so the hard-working moving crew brought smaller trucks and shuttled our belongings about 1.5 miles up the road.  That took longer than expected with the crew of 4 from All American Moving (a branch of Mayflower out of Raleigh, NC).  I had packed my i-pad and camera so here is a phone photo of Jack in the empty great room.  He built this house and will build our next one!  Looks sorta sad, doesn’t he?  But he’s not–just tired!

A huge shout-out to our friend Lewanna who brought us KFC for lunch!  That’s about all we had all day and it gave us a break as well to enjoy a last meal on our screened porch.  By 9 pm, I had asked the movers to put everything that was left (10 items–mattresses, curio cabinet, dining table, etc) on the front porch so Jack and I could leave and head up to the lake with our loads.  The movers will finish loading today but the buyer’s realtor needs to do another walk through so I wanted the house cleaned up before we left.  

Poor Kramer (the dog) had been sitting in my car for 4 hours being sure we were not leaving him!  I didn’t make him stay there, it was clearly his choice!

By 1 am we collapsed in the bed in the hangar.  Today we unload our vehicles.  The moving truck should arrive to our storage unit tomorrow and we can see how professionally they can stack stuff that will live there for a year!  

Thanks to all our friends who had parties, gave us cards and gifts, and for your friendship!  We aren’t that far away and you can stay at the Pre- B & B anytime as long as you bring a hammer or paintbrush for admission!
