Cat and I have just about completed packing everything for our move to Alamogordo. Today marked a milestone for myself – ALL the shops, new garage, old Bike House, and bowl room are totally empty and cleaned, even the shelving. The crew of Tyler did an amazing job of it all. Robert came with his son and took lots of stuff, including the shelving I had used for so long.
The morning started with a huge jolt – the ‘mover’ I’ve been talking to revealed that his services were ONLY he and another packing our items – we have to supply all the supplies, boxes, and even RENT THE VAN for them to load!!!!!!!!!!!!! Up to this point he was going to come in a 31′ van with a crew… I was totally blown away and stunned at this revelation! The work leader of the Tyler crew overheard my angst and offered that he and helpers routinely move people and could do that for us too! Tyler arranged for the van and all. So, we’ll still pack the guest bed, computer work stations & computers, and outside stuff tomorrow, driving down with Pepper Sunday. We have two able helpers to unload and set that up there. We return to Magdalena Sunday afternoon and Tyler’s crew come Monday morning to pack, load, and likely take the load down Tuesday morning. Cat and I will leave Pepper at a boarder Sunday and after the crew does their thing Monday, go on back to Alamogordo…… They will show up at our new home with the truck and disperse everything as we direct.
What a saving action by Tyler and the guys! Two local professional movers to take care of us and our stuff! We’re blessed.
Today I met with our friend across the road who will deliver the ’41 Ford pickup to our home in Alamogordo the 17th. HUGE problem solved!
We’re on the way and at a more relaxed & reliable pace. Both Cat and I are so desperately tired and worn out, but it’s a good feeling. We can hardly wait to be “Home”…………
This morning it was 24 degrees when I went out with Pepper. So, we finally turned on the furnace. Still feels good as it’s just 57 now at 4:00 pm…..
Thanks to all the good people who have sorta moved along with us giving their blessings and support. We have so many good friends who share with us that way. Now, a lite dinner and a quiet evening.
