Day 197, Year 11: Moving, Moving
Date: Friday, May 6, 2016
Weather: Partly Cloudy, High mid-60’s F
Location: At Home in Evergreen Preserve, Lowell, MA
This afternoon we left the condo so a home inspection could take place. Hopefully that went well, and if so, this condo is sold and we will be moving out two weeks from tomorrow. Today we also reserved a U-Haul pick-up truck for next Sunday so we can take the trailer coming up from South Carolina to the Cape to put our belongings from Windbird in storage. So everything here is centered around moving. During the next two weeks we will be moving some of my niece’s belongings to her apartment, and then on Saturday, May 21, everything will be moved out. My niece is giving us the furniture she cannot fit into her apartment, so we will take that furniture to the Cape to join our belongings from Windbird in a new storage unit. It will not be until the middle of June that we make the final move into our new apartment, and I know both Mark and I both will be very glad when that final move is made. In the meantime . . .
Tomorrow night the Goldstones will spend the night here so we can celebrate Mother’s Day together on Sunday morning. Mark is planning a special Sunday breakfast that he and Jed will prepare. On Monday and Tuesday we will be ‘on call’ with our friends Lee and Lynda Kaufman in Little River, South Carolina. They will be packing up everything on Windbird and putting it in a rented U-Haul trailer that will be picked up by other friends, Heather and Jon Turgeon, on Thursday. We will spend Wednesday at Mass General as we do every week. Then on Thursday we will drive to Concord, NH, for the May meeting of the Concord Yacht Club. After the yacht club meeting we will spend the night with our good friends Alan and Helaine Kanegsberg and catch up on what has been happening in their lives. Then on Sunday we will meet Jon and Heather Turgeon for lunch and make the transfer of the U-Haul trailer with all of our boat belongings. Whew! Busy times. But even busier times for our friends who are doing so much for us in packing up our personal belongings and hauling them north for us. We truly feel like we have guardian angels and we are so thankful.
