This is Renee, who is an avid cook and baker and receptionist at daycare. She came yesterday to pick up all the cookbooks that we've acquired through the years. Renee did not want her picture taken after the feat of getting them all in the truck, so I copied her photo from the Stoney Creek website
I think she was overwhelmed by the enormity of the collection. The back of the truck was full when she left.
We also cleaned out the liquor cabinet of all the presents through the years that went unused. Renee was a happy camper when she left.
The chaos continued. There were boxes and stacks of this and that. The goal was to have everything ready for the auction people.
This morning at 7:30, 2 large trucks rolled onto our street. they worked like Trojans carrying furniture. They had obviously done this before. With their actions, the energy increased and the chaos decreased. We had to do nothing except watch, which was good for our backs.
The last truck was packed and ready to go. All of our "stuff" was taken to Lexington for the auction on Saturday.
All of our lives, we've heard, "you can't have too much stuff". You CAN have too much stuff. They are very optimistic that it will be a success. We were told that the web listing for our auction is the most viewed of North Carolina auctions for the week. We have kept the things that are necessary until our departure. We still have the appliances, our bed, a single bed that Nick uses for window viewing, our computer desks, our computers, and two bar stools. It somehow still seems like a lot of stuff, but, it's much less than there was this morning. There are bins around the walls with our clothes. We will manage with the remaining chaos, because order will come in Cuenca.
Until next time,
Mick and Kathy
