Still Catching Up!

...So we prepared to move into the apartment. We went through the house and packed according to what we would 'need' and what would fit in the apartment. Going from 4,000 sq ft plus a 3 car detached garage, a storage bldg and a large barn to a 1,100 sq ft apt was a bit more than down sizing! We rented a Uhaul that Larry drove and pulled our car on a trailor. We loaded up the Mountaineer too which Molly and I drove. Well, she slept. Just east of Topeka we stopped for a potty break and when we pulled back on 70, we had a flat on the trailor! UGH! We called the Uhaul people and they sent someone with another tire...2 HOURS later! I went ahead hoping to do the walk through and be a step ahead once he got there. NOT! Our NEW apt. had mold and we had to change units. Which meant...redoing paperwork and calling the power, phone and water companies to change the address. Oh, and our mail had already been forwarded to the molded unit!!! What a pain! THEN, we were told that the apt. was under new management so some things had changed. I rented the apt. on Friday, it changed on Wed and we moved Thurs. Great timing! The new "management" and I had some words and he was just butt head. We finally unloaded the truck and guess what...our AC was not working. It was the first of July in the midwest...it was slightly hot! You know it's hot when you shower and within 5 minutes you need another shower!!! It made for a miserable nights sleep...or I should say a miserable night of tossing and turnig.

Once settled, we liked the apt. It was new and clean. Our building was quiet as there were only 4 units occupied in our building at that time. That all changed which I will talk about later.

About the time we were moving I got a call from someone interested in our house in MO. They wanted to lease it for 2 years and then purchase it. They have someone in their home doing the same thing so they need to sell before buying our house and property.

For you folks who are just joining my blog, Aunt Carol is Larry's aunt who has taken me in as her own. So aunt Carol met us at the house in MO for clean up day, well dayS. We cleaned top to bottom getting it ready for the renters. There is NO way we could have done it without her!

Then the movers came. They packed up our household goods and headed to KS. We now have a 10X30 storage bldg here FULL.

Next chapter...how we went from our apt to our house in 3 months. Moving twice in 3 months...we are nuts!!!
