Rain!! & Britt and Dave move out officially

Harley wanted out after 4 am. It was blustery and lightening out. She decided it was a no go but I had to shoo her off deck to pee. The cats came too hoping asylum in the garage. Back in bed I was so happy to hear a big bang of thunder and rain around 6. And it lasted for a bit!! It was drizzly when I woke at 8:30 to chat with Shaina. S checked and found we had 3/10ths!!

I got to work sanding the table top. Wood filling the bits needed and trying to recreate the missing toe caps. 

Sharon was out at 11 to tend to Timba. She brought us a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte!!! THANK YOU! We visited drinking it in the garage until Dave arrived. I went to help him with Beibs release. I also caught Timba to keep out of the dramatic reunion and intro to Z.

The sign had edges sanded I had wood filled yesterday. Then a coat of red paint brushed on. While it dried I cooked a Hello Fresh meal for lunch; dilled orzo & salmon. 

Another coat of red on the sign. I tried to steam out a few gouges on the table top. This was a bad idea causing finish issues. Time to hand scrape the finish off. Britt, Cooper and Gulliver arrived mid afternoon. Unloaded another load of treasures; mostly clothes. Leaving animals here, we jumped in Sadie and headed back to the "track house". Dave was packing stuff. They had most of the cargo trailer full. I jenga-ed the last of the stuff for storage. All the food, TV and large art was put in our car. Outside stuff and more storage in the other 2 trucks.  B vacuumed and scrubbed floors, D had cleaned out the fridge. After 7 we had it all loaded. They finished the last mopping and check as we set off. 

We met Sharon turning into the yard at 8. The 2 truck convoys arrived soon after us. I scrambled to get a goulash on the go. Sheldon cooked up steaks they wanted to cook. Mom arrived soon after too. We all ate, visited and relaxed after a stressful moving week for B&D. I whipped up a jello salad for tomorrow. In bed, we repeated the watch some Kaleidoscope, S falls asleep and I watch Pressure Cooker.
