Starting with following the truck up North (helping to move our daughter 'E'), a normal 1 1/2 hour trip took 2 1/2 hours. One of the highways was closed for Blue Angel flyovers. Our older grandaughter loved the trip in the big truck! The unload went great, with the living room and kitchen mostly set up by the end of the day. With the help of her friend, we finished up to 90% of unpacking the next day.
I like to dabble in simple wood projects and put together a raised bed for gardening (it was an 8' x 8' changed to a 4' x 8'. We built another and filled them with her transplants (fingers are crossed). I also donated my compost because it's done and has thousands of worms (need to keep 'a few' for my new bin which was started last month). Our 3 yr old granddaughter was picking them up and feeding them to the chickens and showing them to anybody interested! E also bought chickens (six) and 2 baby pygmy goats she picked out before they were born (3 weeks now) and orphaned (they lost thier mom the day after birth). Our grandaughters were happy with the chickens but are crazy about the goats, feeding bottles, running around and petting them. They will be a 4H project this next year.
So exhaustion and achy joints a week later but feeling good for a job well done!
I appreciate all the help, more than you know! Today I put down my new rug (the heavy one) and put together the new kitchen table. I'm taking a break before putting together the chairs. Unfortunately, when you get new stuff, you get that new stuff chemical smell. Luckily I have all the windows open so I don't have a headache! There is a lot to be said for buying/getting used...no icky chemical smells! I hope the girls are behaving for you!
