Goodbye Houghton Lake

The desk arrived this morning on schedule, and it really wasn't too difficult to get it upstairs. (Of course, I only watched!) Dollies are a wonderful invention. The desk looks great in Dick's room

After the exciting desk arrival, Dick and I set off for Houghton Lake. We had shirts to deliver to Tim and Susie, so we went by way of Grayling. We knew they weren't home, but we stuck the shirts inside their camper.

We had lunch at Coyle's, and then went to see if we could help Bill pack things up. Bill had really moved most of the stuff into the garage already. As it turned out, there was more furniture to be moved to the garage, and doo-dads to be packed in boxes. Tammy and I did the doo-dads. Tammy actually had almost the entire kitchen packed up by the time we got there. As a matter of fact, the only time these folks stood still was for 10 minutes to have a sandwich, and then to pose for me out in front. Otherwise, it was a constant blur of activity!

We're glad to hear that Jan and Kim and the boys arrived in California in one piece, including the trailer. This is an eventful summer for the whole Snider tribe. In California, Kim is moving in, Reiko is moving in, and back here Jan and Bill are moving out of northern Michigan...we're waiting for Eric and Tammy to move - just kidding.

Good luck to everyone in all of your moves and in all of your endeavors.
