Camping at our house...

Well on Friday the movers showed up and stripped us pretty much to the bone. It is amazing to see what Gregory, a fella who has been in the moving game for 20 years, can do with a house full of crap and a 52 foot semi trailer. To put in another way he got about 90% of all of the stuff we own in a 10' x 10' x 15' foot space at the front of the truck -- Gregory would rock at Tetris.

Since they took almost everything, we are pretty much camping at our house. Laura Ingalls Wilder had it better. No chairs, no food, boxes strewn about... very spartan.

In the middle of the movers filling this truck on Friday, we found out that the wife in the couple who will be buying our house suffered from a brain aneurysm on Thursday evening. Apparently, it was a mild one but any affliction that requires brain surgery is not minor in my book. She made it thru surgery and is recuperating now. Her husband had previously signed over Power of Attorney to her in order to make the move process simpler... Unfortunately their plan backfired and now we are not sure if she will be ok to close on Monday as scheduled. We have signed all of the closing documents and our realtors are making arrangements for them to close from the hospital in Cleveland on Monday. Wish her (and us) well.
