Moving day!

January 19 - Deron, Prestin Steve & Purlie spent the night in our new place (and it was cold) on the eve of our move. Here Purlie checks out the master bedroom in the morning just before all the moving activity began!

The SAM's guy arrived just as scheduled. So different than their Californian counterparts!!!The first container was all safe and undamaged (as all would be).Prestin after emptying that first container. The SAM guy was back in about two hours with the second one.Brian (new friend from the Vineyard here in Athens) came for a few hours to help. Here he is assisting the SAM guy to drop the second container. Prestin & Brian as we waited for the third container's arrival. And just prior to the last containers arrival, the rest of the gang arrived. Pam unwrapped & unwrapped & unwrapped things that have been wrapped for around three years! It was over three years ago that we begun packing up to leave Australia and most of our stuff has been in storage until now!!! Ken & Deron uncovering our huge (5x5) table made of very old wood (it's very heavy). Pam still unwrapping
Meanwhile Purlie peacefully slept on Prestin's bed!

Shellie is so happy to be in our own home, no longer living out of suitcases and confined to our bedrooms at the back of grandma's house.

Yep it is good to be here!!! The living room was the perfect staging point.
Deron still working at uncovering our magnificent table!

Our last container. Could you tell it was Prestin who had loaded it???

More to come into the staging area!

We are all in, and the packing materials were out for the rubbish collectors.

The beginning of a new season!!!
