What stress. There is no stress in moving. Just because Jude and I are ready to kill at a moment's notice I though it might be a good idea to be prepared!
Actually the box is for our grandfather clock, which fits in there rather nicely. We hired a couple of high school boys to help us move and the look on Will's face was priceless when he saw "Grandfather's Coffin" on the floor and ready to be moved.
We have all of the furniture moved out of the house that we are taking but there is still a lot to do. The nice thing is that I know it will all be done by 22 Aug, because that is when we close on the house. Not only that but we are running out of room in our storage area. We will have to see how it all goes.
For those who have not been able to figure out our plan, let me try to restate what we are up to.
Andy and Sue will be taking our 5th wheel and the new truck to Grand Isle next week.
In two weeks we will be taking Danny's Fault down Lake Michigan towards Chicago and the Illinois River. From there we will head toward the Mississippi River, up the Ohio River to the Tennessee River, then into the Tommbigbee waterway that empties out in Mobile, AL. We will then hang a right and head to Grand Isle, which will be Danny's Fault new home.
We will be leaving our belongings, including Jude's car and our "Alaska truck" here in Canada in storage until next spring. At that time we will be driving up a U-Haul truck, with a trailer for Jude's car, and our Alaska truck with a camper trailer, which we still need to buy.
Yes, we still have some logistical issues to work out, such as how do we get from Grand Isle back up to Canada to receive our belongings, and oh yes, the fact that we need to buy a house in Alaska! At least on the 6-8 weeks on the boat will give us time to come up with some plans.
Anyone want to come down to Grand Isle in the spring and give us a ride north? We would be happy to show you around Grand Isle and New Orleans!
