House clear-out

The movers came yesterday as scheduled, and took away most of the contents of our present house. They showed up pretty well on time, and in a few short hours had cleared up our house immensely. It went from this:

...to this:

These 2 chairs that we usually carry in our travel van are the only seats we have in the house now:

Fortunately we do still have our Internet connection for a couple more days.

This is the first time we've ever had professional movers. There's more prep time as we did most packing ourselves, and everything had to be well packed, but moving day was a LOT easier for us than in past self-moves. Hopefully they will be able to find all this stuff when it's time to move in to our new place. :-)

Today we had dropped in to a neighbor's garage sale, when a different kind of customer pulled into their driveway:

This local Mennonite took quite a few things away with him. Some of these things used to be in our house (Thanks Norm!). We resisted any purchases at the garage sale.

Our house sale closes this Wednesday, when we'll become homeless for the summer and early (hopefully!) fall. Off in the van we go! 

Here's what our new place looked like recently:

Not much more than a hole in the ground as yet, but on schedule. Thanks for the picture Al.
