Sharing a few "moving" pictures

From Daphne, AL to Cape Cod to Maryland to New York State all in two years -whew!!

Chester says "are you kidding me.....we are doing this again!!"

              Chester normally likes being in the car, but when the trip takes 8 hours or several days
                          and he has to share with boxes, bags and birds too, he is not so keen.

the process starts with a few boxes

                                                           one by one, each item is packed

it isn't long before a few things start to get in the way

                                                              a very dear friend brings snacks

                                          one last look  (oh....I forgot that candle holder..)

                                                                        A sad last look

                                        the truck is loaded - too stuffed to take whats left.

                                                                   the car is loaded

                                                                   and off we go again.

                                       and hello MBFTIM (my big fat tacky Italian mansion) -

in it all comes.....that thing is heavy

                                                                   the unpacking begins

seriously who has this many pictures - James wants to know

just throw the empties over the rail

days have passed and all you want is a home cooked meal...
if only we could find the forks and steak knifes - the chopping knife will have to do.

                                                Time to move again...off to Maryland

and didn't we just get rid of this pile??

                                         

 hmm...these pots looked better in Alabama

I like it better in here.

                                                       here comes that heavy thing again

and finally a week late the "lost" part of the shipment arrives.

                                                                    now time to unpack

Chester is finding his way

boxes on their way to the basement

finally a place to relax.......

                                             but suddenly - paper and boxes and chaos again.

sorry Chester you wont be sleeping on the red sofa tonight

                              maybe it's better to wait in the car, can we just get this over with?

                                                                   packed and ready to load

that sad empty look again...not so sad this time - we weren't attached here

if their shirts aren't wet from sweat -( it was 29 C and muggy) the rain took care of that.

                                                          finally...a quiet corner to sleep

testing another corner

                      a loaded truck leaving in the dark- and that's not the first time.

                                                   another house,

                                                                        another front door

                     We are glad we have a long driveway, don't think the movers were as happy.

                                                       good grief, I'll just wait in here

                                                        here comes that big thing again!

no basement for storage this time - this bedroom will be four deep in boxes for some time. 

                                                           oh no those darn pictures again.

empty boxes show progress right?

                                                     wake me up when it's all over thanks.

Maybe it is time to rename this blog "New in Town Again"
