Grams ....

Grams Grams n Lindsay Grams n me

So last weekend, Aunty Shirley, Lindsay (who had just had her 2nd carpal tunnel surgery) and I went up north to help my mom pack up grams' stuff for her new apt. We did a lot of cleaning house, getting rid of junk and organizing. Poor grams was having a hard time letting go of stuff but we reminded her that her new place will be smaller and if she needs anything, we can get new stuff for her new place. The dumpster at her apt building was empty when we started on Saturday and by the time we left (after 10+ hrs), it was overflowing and my mom even took stuff to her house ... crazy? Plus that is after like 8 boxes went to the "Sunshine Closet" ... which is like a goodwill. And my mom still had more to drop off. We couldn't believe all the stuff gram had accumulated but I guess after like 24 years in the same apt, it happens. We took a few pics to remind us of the packing day :0)

So yesterday a few of my uncles and cousins, my parents and Aunt Shirley and Uncle Dave packed up everything up north in a Uhaul and brought it down to her new apt in Woodbury. I went over today along with Lindsay, Nichole and Aunt Shirley to do the rest of the organizing that Shirley and mom didn't get to yesterday. We got a lot done (I left before the others) but it was looking like home for grams when I was leaving. Next time I'm there ... I'm sure sometime this week, I'll take some pics :0) It's just nice to have her down her now and closer. Good job to everyone that got this task done (FINALLY!!!!)
