I've been away for four days!

Most of you know now that my Parents sold the family farm and purchased the home of my childhood that they sold twenty-two years ago! Well, the move occurred on the week-end and so that is where I have been but I am back now! It was quite the week-end I must say! I went on the bus on Thursday morning (After majorly sleeping in and only having half an hour to get out of my apartment so no shower ) and had lunch with my parents...A sub from the local sub shop! We had a lot of business to do that day...The Lawyers Office, The Bank, The Insurance Broker, The Real Estate Office and Mom had to be to work for 3PM Once we got Mom to work we went back to the farm and I asked Dad for boxes so that I could finish packing the kitchen....Only, there were just two boxes left and I couldn't get all that was left of the kitchen into those boxes so I had to just fill them and stop, waiting until we went to get Mom from work to get more boxes! Late at night when we got Mom home from work and had the boxes...Mom and I packed up a few more boxes and then we went to bed...The last night in the old farm house... The next Morning we finished and taped up boxes. We were ready to go for Noon when my Dad called the lawyer to get the go ahead and found Money had not changed hands yet...It was a long drawn out process and it wasn't finalized until 3:45!!!! We had approximately fifteen people waiting around from about 11AM to help us move and now we still had to go into town to get the check and run it to the bank before closing hours! By the time we got back we had a bite to eat at the farm house (Sandwiches and soup left over from the noon-time meal) and then loaded up my Dad's truck and off we went up to the house. The other vehicles had already been loaded while we had been waiting all afternoon. The move went smoothly once we were actually able to move! Two trips with all of the vehicles and about two and half hours later we were in the house with nothing unpacked but we were in! Once everyone left then we went back alone to get the dog out of the building he had been in and one more walk through the house. It was after 9PM by the time we were actually in the house for the night! What a day! I spent two nights in my childhood room and it was really nice to be back there I must say! I was there long enough to help my Mom set up the kitchen and unpack all the china and put it in the cabinet and set up and decorate the living room putting up some pictures etc. I was also able to unpack the linens and organize her linen closet and so that was a big help to them! Now Mom and Dad will be working on the bathroom and the rec room downstairs. I can't wait for New Years when we will be going there!! I really didn't want to leave Sorry I do not have a picture of the house but I forgot to take my camera with me... When Mom and Dad paint in the spring then I will get a picture and post it for you all! So, what were all you guys up to while I was gone!?! I hope you all had a wonderful week-end, please share it with me or any of your moving experiences as well if you like! ~Heavens~
