The Move




Wow! Moving across the country is not easy. Louie's parents can attest to that and they didn't even leave Houston. They graciously helped Louie and I load this 28 ft. trailer which we ambitiously decided we could load ourselves. Everyone involved was more than nervous about whether all of our stuff would fit in this thing... but have no fear, Louie and his Dad, with some creative packing ideas, made it work. The most difficult thing to load was the new 500lb.+ cooker that Louie inherited from his Dad. It took 6 of us to get it in the truck. Whew! We said goodbye to our home in Pearland. Louie made the dogs pose for the picture as you can see.

Louie and I both drove a car and took a dog and headed out after a smooth closing in Pearland. We left Monday and stopped for the evening in Wichita, Kansas. Ahhh, Kansas... now that is an exciting state. Nothing for miles and miles and you have to pay a toll to drive on the interstate. Definitely the longest part of the trip. We drove the rest of the way on Tuesday and got to Rochester around 6 PM and no, Dad, there was no snow on the ground. It actually was very hot, in the low 90's each day, but absolutely gorgeous! We closed Wed. morning, then picked up the dogs and headed over to our new home.
