So we moved! It was stressful, as moving always is, and we’re still digging out from under all the boxes, but at least the move is behind us.
The movers were great. We’d never heard of them but they worked hard and fast, they were friendly and nice, they treated our stuff and our home with respect, and they charged less than half of what we were quoted by the other moving companies we talked to.
Here’s my favourite line of the day:
The mover was taking the legs off a table to make it fit better into the moving van.
“Will you be putting the legs back on when we get to the other house?” asked GC.
“I can do whatever you want,” the mover replied. “I can even make you soup if you want.”
Hey, you oughta tell us who your movers were! Maybe they’ve got cousins down here? We think we may have figured out how to leave our white elephant (the dinky house) & get a decent condo, only it’ll involve me never retiring….or both of us not eating for the last 25 years of our lives.
Mmmmmm… sooooooup! A perfect welcome-to-your-new-living-arrangement meal!
great, guys. life’s new normal can begin.
