Here is Jesse Sommerfeld helping dad with one of my bookshelves before it gets take out to the moving trailers. Jesse and Phil were the strongmen, taking the piano from the basement by themselves :) Mr. Sommerfeld was there as well, and he brought doughnuts to the delight of the working crew.
Here are a couple of the FIVE trailers that the folks from Dover brought to help us with our move. Three generations of Elmores, the Jacksons, Mike Duffield and Dave Cook were there.
Exciting picture of the trailers in the driveway.
I could not, I mean seriously could not have accomplished the move without Patty Jackson. She was my brain for the morning!
I was very grateful that she came along!!!
The Durochers were there to help, Dale and Jon Jones, the Bullocks came to say goodbye and Pam Rapier made chili for the whole crew and recruited some others to bring food for the lunch (Susan Fisher, Stacy Durocher, and Dawn Jones)
I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of later in the day, but several people helped on the Dover end as well. All of the Dover folks listed above plus the Forristalls, an additional Jackson, Dave Cook's son, Steve and Steve Foster, John Welsh, and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone..... Several of the ladies made a dinner for us at the church. Do you think that we have been well taken care of??
I'll get a picture of the house and post office up soon. I have another small post to make today though.
A picture of the inside of our new refrigerator. Now THIS is what you call excitement. It's even bigger than the one in Wheaton. It was the biggest I could get without spending thousands on a commercial refrigerator (which I may do someday, you know!)
Here is a glimpse of the boy's room. We'll post more of the rooms later as we get them put together, but I can't really do that yet because........
........here is what most of it looks right now. We are still digging through stuff. If I didn't have all of these books and papers I'd probably be done :) This is the dining room. See how I set up the chairs over by the window? Dad and I do our quiet times there in the morning. I will be recovering the chairs and putting one of our end tables in between. You can't really see the baskets I bought to put our books, Bibles and etc. under the chairs, but when I get the room done, I can put it in a later post.
