The flattened boxes have been sent away, the old computer desk given away, and yesterday Bruce was able to get both vehicles into the garage.
This is a big accomplishment. It means no scraping windshields in the morning (yes, it does get frosty down here). We are glad the Camry is small, because this garage is a 2-car garage. Not a 2-van garage, and certainly not a 2-1/2 vehicle garage like we had in Iowa. Bruce is tightening his "space belt" and resigning himself to a smaller collection of stuff. The jury is still out on whether we keep the upright freezer. It may wind up in the laundry room yet.
Yesterday we delivered pizza and Christmas cookies for lunch to a family Bruce knows from work, arriving just as their moving truck was pulling away. We know the feeling of being surrounded by boxes and strangers. Timing was perfect; we ate, laughed, commiserated, compared war stories and celebrated the hard-earned growth that change brings. It was something akin to church. :)
