End of the rainbow

We had two days to unload the semi trailer, and needed both of them. We finished just before a rainstorm, which was good for us but bad for the trailer company- when they came to pick up the trailer, they got stuck going up the driveway. The empty trailer was too light to give good traction.
After 3 hours and two tow trucks, the truck was finally freed.

Leaving Wisconsin

Harry retired on October 31, 2006 and I left my job so we could begin the next phase of our lives- retirement in a small town in Tennessee. We packed and moved ourselves, which wasn't an easy job for two people that are packrats... we worked with ABF, a company that drops off a semi trailer in your driveway- you pack it, and then they pick it up and deliver it to your new home. We saved a lot of money moving ourselves, but boy, was it hard work! We were very lucky to have my Mom and Dad come and help us several days, and my niece, nephew, and sister helped too. Still, we could have used a few more weeks of packing and cleaning...
