Slim Pickins

No........not the old western movie star!

I'm referring to the amount of furniture left in the old place. Between what we have sold already, what Chris is keeping for her place and what friends and relatives have taken......there ain't much left!! All this is really great too because it "should" makes our packing, loading and moving days at the end of July go quite smoothly. I am reserving judgement on that one until all is said and done. More things going later today as well.

We recall a comedy routine by Jeff Foxworthy entitled "You know you're a Redneck when......" He gives a list of indicators that are quite funny. One of his endings referred to having lawn furniture set up in your family room. Well, we certainly have that and more besides!!! Or should that be less? We thought it was hilarious.

Anyway things are going well. My sister in law, Karen and her husband, John are in town for the weekend. They are sleeping on a queen size inflatable bed which we bought at Walmart. It has a motor that pumps it up in about 3 minutes and they both slept very well on it. The bed cost about $60 and comes in its own carry bag making for easy storage too. Great for company.

Karen and John have agreed to take Buddy for us, for a month to begin with. We can't keep him in the inlaw suite with us and it made no sense to set up the RV and maintain two residences, just so Buddy would have a place to sleep. They head home today with a load of our stuff in their van. Our son will run Buddy over to them at the end of the month when he moves to London, Ontario. Chris and I will head over to Hanover around August 10 for 5 days while she is on days off from CHEO. We'll be able to check on our things in storage and see some more family as well.

Still lots to do but we are getting there, one step at a time.
