Moving

About two months ago Candy purchased a lovely new home and has been doing some modifications before the big move.  All was normal and this Friday was going to be just another move.  Given all we have learned this past week and now a move?  Talk about bad timing!  The good news is my mom gets to be queen bee and direct everyone around! Which side of the room do you want your 19th century armoire again ma'am?  I had to keep nagging her to sit down and rest, but if nothing else, the move has been a great distraction from the elephant in the room.

 It felt like a scene from Tom Hank's the money pit.  The place is close to completion, but not 100%.  At one point this afternoon we had two plumbing vans five pickup trucks (electrician, carpenter, cabinet people, Bright House Networks and my dad's), two moving trucks and the IKEA delivery van and the Merry Maid car.  The street was blocked with all the going ons.

I really want to thank so many people with your warm wishes and help today.  Mrs. Crookston and Mrs. Strickland both brought lunch over for us, it was a feast!  Goodall Bros was also amazing, they helped pack (we only started last night), move and went above and beyond.  At one point my mom was executing a new will and we need another witness; Chris Goodall happily sat down from his job and helped out.  I am confident that we are not going to need it, but it's good to know that it is in place.

We are wrapping up for the day, I'm off to set up the TV for a nice relaxing night on the couch with Mom and the family.  I can not express how thankful we are for all the caring messages and prayers which have been bestowed upon us this past week.  We truly appreciate it.
