Thursday and Friday - Unload the Truck

Our storage unit found us a young man, Tanner, who is a senior in high school to help us unload the truck. We got started about 9:30, and Tanner arrived shortly after that, and we set to work. Unloading seemed to take longer than loading as we had to inspect boxes to see where to place them in the storage unit. We rented a second climate controlled unit for furniture and paintings. We finished unloading all but the safe, and Tanner located a friend who could come back on Friday to complete the job. No wonder HW2 wanted to sell the safe.

Once the safe was in the storage unit, we took the truck back to Budget Rental and were glad to see the end of this phase. Now we will take stuff we have stored in the motor home bays to storage and other things from the unit back to our home. This trading back and forth will take some time, but we should end up with some empty spaces in the motor home. Best of all, we can get to our stuff, whether it is for general living, tools, clothes, or sewing.

Don wants to set up our garden trains around the outside patio of the River Rock Saloon. So I guess that will become my next project. We set up our canopy for shade and really have begun to settle in here.

A trip to WalMart and we have groceries enough to last the rest of the month. How does Cornell Chicken sound? If you like it, come by. There will be enough for all.

We were really tired after our trip and emptying out the truck. I think we felt our age and wondered how we managed it all, but we did. Happy travels.
