nesfan and Mark WINOLJ are in the process of moving now. Helping them brings back memories of all who helped me move out of Toad Hall and into The Zeppelin Hanger here at Toad Woods. elaine_brennan was there at both ends! Joe and Edie gave me a homebase for the duration. galacticvoyeur lent me the use of his house when I needed to prepare 51 boxes for shipping -- half to debgeisler and benveniste's and the other half to Fanhihall. Dozens more helped pack and also gave Toad Hall the very best housecooling party possible while friends from at least six states and one foreign country visited Toad Woods in the first four months I lived here.
So why am I posting this today rather than ten days from now? Because of the wondrousminnehaha K., that's why. Because of K. and the Marvelous Moving Notes.
Yep. I just found another. I've been cleaning the garage -- after three years, it needed it! Okay, it wasn't the first time I've cleaned the garage. For me, that's pretty much an annual affair, with a minor re-arrangement come winter, when I don't need to get to the lawnmower any more. But in all of the chaos and travels of last year, the garage went untended, and the clutter had piled up well beyond my comfort level. So I've been having at it.
In an effort to make more room, I'm breaking down some of the large dish-pack boxes that double well as a work surface when lined up in a row. One was filled with crumbled newspaper from unpacking. I was flattening that out for recycling when I came across a note that went unnoticed in the original unpacking:
"Geri, we all miss you already & you haven't left yet. :-)"
So sweet. I loved all the the notes; they were the best. They still are. I missminnehaha K. and other Minnesota friends, too. I'm glad we had time together last month and I look forward to good times in Minneapolis and Winnipeg this summer.
This might have been the last Marvelous Moving Note I'll find, but I wouldn't bet on it. Thank you, K! Thank you everyone who played along!
