Moving in August....

Moving in August is NOT fun.. Day #1 was the hottest day of the year, heat index was about 110°. And it was an adventure.. The house we moved into belonged to a lady who had become too old to live on her own and her son took her home with him. So Wednesday was the day we we packing up all her stuff to move out. We got a large portion of it outside when the "family" came and rummaged thru what we had packed and I finally asked them to sort BEFORE we packed.. Needless to day the afternoon ended with all this woman's belongings in piles in the yard.. then the rain came. I did not recall seeing rain in the forecast.. I had hoped in the least it would have cooled the day down.. now it was 110° and super humid. By then end of the day my energy and patience was spent. On Thursday more people came to rummage and packing and loading storage became a two day job. We had to repack all her stuff. ( No the family did NOT help). Thursday was also peel wallpaper day.First two rooms were a breeze.. Then I hit my nemesis. The living room.. After about 20 hrs of combined labor the TWO walls were paint ready. ( yes we tried that!) So we painted Saturday. We spent Sunday moving most of our belongings to the new place. More came to rummage last night :/. Today I will finish unpacking and organizing my home. MANY MANY Thanks to those that helped out. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I love my friends!

*note: I did not take before pics.. I know what was I thinking!!
