Two hours working in the brisk afternoon weather and many items loaded into the cargo trailer. I was forced indoors because the sun was going down and the temperature was getting colder.  I’m hoping and praying for a couple of warm days so I can get more things loaded. Furthermore, I want to wash the cargo trailer before our final trip. I want the trailer clean when we deliver it to the new owner.

Being evicted from the Escapees CARE Center should have taught me a lesson? I guess not because I’m voicing my thoughts again. I’m “sick and tired”  of the seemingly endless television coverage of the impeachment of President Donald Trump. Hours of negative comments by our elected representatives. I remember the words of Rodney King when he said “Can we all JUST get along? Can we get along?“

TV meteorologist says “feels like freezing temperature.”  I’m not complaining; worst weather throughout the United States.

…with the first load of possessions.

Miraculously, this move developed rapidly. A new acquaintance (friend?) is towing my cargo trailer full of cherished items. There are boxes full of genealogy that await scanning and upload to Digitized Library of Family History. I still own two trunks that belonged to my maternal grandfather (one trunk older than this old lady). There are many old-fashioned hard-side suitcases full of picture albums. This sentimental old lady has paid to have things moved from Lancaster, California, to Brookville, Ohio. Later: to Shelby, North Carolina, and Waxhaw, North Carolina. Six years ago, the move from Waxhaw to Livingston, Texas. My New Year’s resolution: “Scan, and discard; D-O-W-N-S-I-Z-E.”  Two loads (two trips) of belongings (to Waco) because this old lady puts a value on garden paraphernalia (items she couldn’t sell–or give away–at yard sales and moving sale).

(This blog prepared on Sunday [15th] and scheduled for Monday 16th.)

There are not enough adjectives to describe the “remarkable” service provided by “able” Mark Monteaux. It was a thoroughly awesome experience for this old lady! Mr. Red greeted me with a BIG hug and “welcome home.”  He had helpers ready to help unload and the transfer from cargo trailer to the storage room went “remarkably” fast.

(Oops, can’t get that quotation mark [in remarkable title] turned around.)

Balancing “tough stuff” with TV church.

Precious messages of reassurance during these difficult days.
