The Big Move...

There was an amazing number of people helping us move on Sunday afternoon--maybe 30. That's not preacher-exaggerated either. I didn't actually count but my friend Ed verified that there were, "at least that many". Thanks to all of you who gave me your Sunday afternoon. We had enough help to successfully get all of our stuff from the old house into the new house in less than three hours. That should be some kind of a record. I'm pretty sure that it's going to take months however--not days--to find my socks. In fact, I can't find much of anything that I need. All of the stuff that I don't need--I know exactly where that stuff is. Funny thing about moving is that I discovered unopened boxes left from our last move. Some of those boxes were still unopened from when we moved to Windsor from Texas amost ten years ago! Can you say, "throw it away"? Just how long should I keep research papers from seminary? I don't know but I've still got them. We are making some changes with the move. We are giving up our land-line and going exclusive with our cell phones. We've all got one and so it kind of makes sense just to use cell phones. The biggest problem that I can see is that Tina has a difficult time keeping her phone charged. The battery dies and it can be days before she gets it recharged again. I'm the kind of guy that waits until my phone completely discharges all of its power before I plug it in. I let it recharge overnight and then I'm good to go again for a very long time. I guess what I'm saying is that if you need Tina and her phone isn't being answered--try calling me and I'll let her talk on mine. Monday was designated, "create order in the new house" day. Today is "clean the old house" day. And Wednesday is "watch the carpet cleaners do their thing" day. Thursday is, "turn the keys in" day.
