Well it’s official. My parents are now living in their new independent living place. I went over to their old house this morning to help Frances with the packing up of more of their stuff. The movers had just arrived when I got there.
We spent a good two hours getting the first of their stuff organized in their new place. While we were doing that Al came over to our house to pick up our dinning room table and chairs. It is much smaller than their kitchen table making it a better fit in their new place. That table and chair actually belonged to my dad’s mom and where dad ate growing up. My dad’s brother made the table and chairs in shop class.
After Al picked up the table Bob came over to the new place to set up the stereo, TV, and phones. Al delivered the table then he had to go home to mow. Bob, Frances, me and the folks all went down for lunch in the dinning area. Bob left for home after lunch and we went back over to the old house. Al met us there to get another load of stuff to haul to the new place. We just barely got everything loaded up before a big storm came through.
We hauled that load up the their apartment and did a bit more organizing before I we all finally ran out of gas about 5pm. I left to come home as did Frances and Al while mom and dad went down to dinner. Tonight will be their first night in a new home in 56 years.
