Musings on Moving

It is easier to move across the country than it is across the street! The reason is that a cross country move forces you to pack everything and move all at once. If you have no specific deadline because you are waiting for permits, then moving can take quite a while - over a month for us, and still counting. Now that we finally have our permits, we have to get everything out, and that means everything! We opened the hall closet yesterday thinking that it was empty since we moved the coats, but NO - there was a vacuum cleaner, gloves, hats and things we never use in the warm Florida winters. Oh, man, it's never going to end!

The funniest thing was that I really wanted to leave our television and the various cable boxes connected when we moved those items since it usually takes several trips for the cable company to get our TIVO box hooked up correctly. I do have everything labeled as well as photos, but the thought was if we could just keep it together, life would be simpler. So, creative Guy figured out that we could use the wheelbarrow. What???? It worked perfectly. We put the boxes in the bottom and the TV across the top. Unorthodox, but so is he! We were laughing as we wheeled it down the street under the cover of darkness. Here we are, the Beverly Hillbillies, moving our worldly goods down the street! The only bummer is that it was dark and there are no street lights, thus no photo as my flash is not powerful enough. It would have been a great photo, but use your imagination. Hilarious!
