JULY 29- - -MOVING DAY!

(Dennis, Suzanne, Danielle, Katie & Daren and Sashy came to So Cal for a week's vacation, and came over one day and helped pack. Katie & Daren dis-assembled the shelves in the garage and Dennis vacuumed the rugs, rolled them up and taped them closed, and Sue and Danielle worked in the kitchen. They accomplished a great deal in the hours they spent helping. There are pictures, but I don't know where they are!)
Finally THE day arrived, July 29th, and so did lots of help. Ken's family had been down in So Cal for a short vacation and he planned it so that on his way home they would stop by and load the truck and then he would drive it to Mapleton. After arriving in Mapleton, he slept for a couple of hours and then Dennis joined them and they unloaded my things into his garage for safe keeping until I find a home for them.

Back to the 29th. I met Ken at the Penske place and we got a big truck that was brand new. Only 22 miles on it! 

 When I returned home, Erik and the boys were already 

getting things out to the curb.

 This Mom/Grandma was being helped by two sons,(Ken & Erik) two daughter-in-laws, (Coppelia & Kristin) 6 big grandsons,(Adam, Steve, Nathan, Ryan, Travis & Nate)1 smaller one (JP) and two helpful granddaughters. (Lindsey & Sophie).

 Bro. Steve Nielsen from the ward came over to see how we were doing.

 Note how the dining room is all cleared out.

 Travis spent his 13th birthday helping his Grandma move.

We all sang happy birthday to Travis. 

Everyone enjoyed the cake on Grandma's empty patio!

It was a very hot day and a lot of work, but in a few hours, mission accomplished! Coppelia and kids took off for Utah, Ken took off with the truck, Erik and Kristin took me and the kids to lunch and then they returned to Murrieta and I went back to the house to do one last look and then headed over to Murrieta where I collapsed for several days!
