Last Saturday we flew from Tampa to Ft. Wayne, Indiana. On Sunday we celebrated our great niece's high school graduation with a lot of the family.
Monday we picked up our Penske rental truck and loaded up our remaining household goods in Nappanee. It took us 3 1/2 hours to do that in the 85° heat. We had to stop and rest several times for Terry, but we got the job done. Once that was done, we returned our rental car to the South Bend Airport and headed south. We made it to Scottsburg, Indiana, as it was 5:00 before we really got started south. The next day I drove over 600 miles stopping south of Atlanta for the night and then Wednesday we drove on to our home in Polk City.
Yesterday most of the truck got unloaded, but we still have some to go. We will finish unloading this morning because we have to go to Melbourne this evening for our granddaughter's 7th birthday. As you might guess, the house looks like a war zone, but I have already unboxed and put a lot of stuff away. When we had to take a break from the unloading, I would come inside and work. That is actually the fun part. It will take several days to get it all finished, but we finally have all our stuff here. Whoo hoo. Last evening at 9 p.m. I couldn't stay awake, so we went to bed early. Got up at 6, so I feel pretty good except for being sore. LOL
Hope all of you are doing well. As soon as our stuff is all settled, we plan to take out one of the motorhomes and enjoy a weekend of camping.
God bless you all.
