Loading Day (first of several, actually)

Before.

The crew. Most of it anyway. The two brothers are off somewhere doing something.

Ahh, perhaps eating lunch. Homemade ham and bean soup (made last weekend -- I'm not that crazy.)

A chair before stretch wrapping.

A chair after stretch wrapping. Stretch wrap is my new favorite packing material.

Raking leaves (for some reason!) and jumping in them. You can't stop these volunteers!

Moving the dresser.

wrapping the dresser.

The truck. It's big. really big. I was waffling between a 16' and a 22' truck. Because I'm a great person, the Penske guy decided to give me a free upgrade to a 26' truck. When I tried to get something smaller, he admitted that they only had the 26'. Going to be interesting piloting that sucker down a snow-covered streets in Boston!

Disassembling the bed. Wildlife sightings included dust bunnies the size of small dogs.

After.
