Friday was the big move day. Stuart arrived at 11:00 am with the Budget truck. It took a couple of hours to load. Then the drive to his house and a couple hours to unload. A lot of our furniture we are giving to him so the next move will not be as tough. We got all our goodies packed into the spare room in their basement and his shed. We got our spare bed set up in his spare bedroom so he now has a place for guests ... Like us!
We had to take the truck back to Newmarket and Stu had his car there. So Tom and I rode in the back of the truck. Tom stood all the way. Said it was like riding the subway in Toronto. There is a hatch that opens from the cab in to the truck. So when we got to the rental place Heajin got out of the passenger side. Tom and I climbed through the hatch and out the passenger door...lol. Like a clown car. How many people can climb out of the passenger seat of a two seater...?? Big fine if we got caught.
Stuart and Heajin took us out for a lovely dinner at The Keg to put a delicious finish to a hard day. We still have to go back to the house this week to pick up the last of our Florida things and clean the house. I refuse to leave a dirty house for the next people. I have to vacum up the tracks we made moving on Friday. Everything else has even cleaned out, washed and ready for the purchaser.
This morning it took a crane to get everyone out of bed. Lots of sore muscles and backs. Tom and Stuart worked on getting his garage organized while Haejin and I braved the Christmas shopping traffic in Barrie to pick up a few things. What a zoo!!!
Stuart and Haejin made this ladder ball game for us as a Christmas gift. Pretty cool. We will have lots of fun with this next summer. In the meantime they get to store that for us also...lol
Tonight we are off to Holland Landing for dinner with our friends Dave and Helen. It may be the last time we see them until spring unless Helen can talk Dave into heading for Florida again this winter for a while.
