Professional Amateurs

We have gained lots of experience these last few months
packing and moving people into their new homes. You
know our Laurie! Her cousin's daughter Misty just inherited
her own first home and we got to help sort and toss
out lots of stuff so that she can move in next week.


Everyone rallied yet again to lend a helping hand.
Laurie mapped out our chores ahead of time.


But we never do anything until we are fully fortified with
something tasty to eat!



After we filled up on Mindy's sweet treats, we headed off
to our assignments.


Melinda, Karen and I were assigned to help Laurie clear out
the Christmas room. Yes! It was a room filled with decorated
trees, boxes of ornaments, ribbons and wraps and so much
more!


After making an untold number of trips up and down
stairs with stuff, Melinda got the bright idea to save some
energy and the trash went out the window.


Misty caught on to the fun too! Eventually a few more
of our team got into the action.


The stairs presented a real challenge to getting three
box springs out to the dumpster. So plan B was put into
action. Can you guess what plan B involves?


Charlie and Jay went to work taking out a window.

And then the job was easy and fun!
Eventually, Misty got around to check on our progress.




In 2 hours our team accomplished lots including finding
a special new hat for Kim to preview at next Summer's
VBS!


The living room is filled to overflowing for the upcoming
Yard Sale! Thanks TEAM! You are the absolute BEST!
