It's Been a While

It's been a while since I have been on here. My trip to NC was very interesting!!! We got there and went to Dave's Aunt Winnie's house, she hadn't packed a thing! She lived in this home for over 20 years, so you can only imagine what you accumulate over that time period. We had to go and get a truck and boxes. We looked for a big enough truck for like two hours. Finally we got a 26 ft long U-Haul. We grabbed some KFC and ate lunch and started packing. We realized shortly after we started that we didn't have enough boxes. So Winnie and Dave's other Aunt (I don't remember her name) went to get more boxes and Dave and I continued to pack.



When they got back we had another epiphany. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO HELP PACK! The whole idea was for us to get the truck packed that night and get a couple of hours on the road. Winnie called some people from her church a man with four teenager came over to help us. I mean to tell you they worked hard and didn't stop until they had to leave. They were a God send!



Dave and I finally got on the road about 10 pm. We couldn't get the female part of the seat belt through the seat in the truck. I wanted my seat belt on. That truck was big and Dave was driving fast and that truck was loaded. (Remember, I was already in an accident involving a U-Haul trailer, a different story for another time). We pulled over after about 1 hr and got a hotel room, took a shower and went to sleep. We were exhausted.

Got up had a really nice breakfast and got back on the road headed for Dave's mom and dad's in upstate NY. Pulled in about 30 min away from his mom or dad on Sunday night about 10 pm. Got a room, got comfortable and watched a little of the movie, "The Sixth Sense", great movie by the way. We waited until the little boy said the line, "I see dead people." And turned off the TV and went to sleep.

Got up Monday morning, drove out to Dave's parents house. Met his dad, it's amazing that I have known Dave for 10 years, I have met his mom, a sister, cousins, and aunts, but never met his dad. Dave's dad told him to pull the truck up to the barn, the only bad thing about that is that the truck is so long that it sticks out in the road. He puts the truck in drive to move it and one of the back wheels just spins. Dave is freaking out, I am not quite sure as to why, I get out and start directing traffic.

I do truly believe that ignorance is bliss! What I didn't know is that this road is frequently travel this road at high rates of speed. This guy pulls overand asks if we are going to be sticking out of the road for long. I say well that depends, he's kind of stuck. He tells me I should call the State Police and the Fire Dept. I kindly tell him that if he knows the numbers I would gladly call them. He must volunteer or something, but he had them in his phone.

Mean while, I am still directing traffic, kinda thinking to myself, this kind of fun! Dave has now opened the back of the truck and is just throwing things from the back of the truck. Jumps back in the truck and pulls out!! YEAH, he pulls into one of the driveways at the house. After he is parked he tells me how worried I was and that he couldn't believe I was directing traffic. Sure I was! I didn't know those big truck come barreling down the road. See...it wouldn't have been so bad, but there was this little hill that they would come over and about 300 feet we were sticking out into the road.

Some of his nieces and nephews came to help us unload, thank God! We would fill the bed of this truck and then drive it up to where it was going to be stored. While they were gone, I would move more boxes from the back of the truck.

I left Saturday morning at 6 am, I got home Monday evening at 7 pm. It was a long, eventful trip with a great friend. I would do it all over again.

Got up had a really good breakfast, then got in the truck and started driving. We drove to Dave's parents house in upstate NY to drop off 90% of what we had in the truck.
