The Long Haul "Home" and a Broken Toe
Despite the fact that we knew we would be moving and pretty much had a target date in mind, things did not pan out the way we'd planned. Our intention was to rent a Uhaul and make the move in one fell swoop, which would--in theory--save us money . However, when it came time to price the Uhaul...the price had gone up $100 and was something we now could not afford...since we had paid a security deposit plus rent, as well as having to pay to have the electric turned on...there was just barely enough money to do anything more than 'borrow' some vehicles and pay for the gas for those vehicles to make a single trip. (My daughter's mother-in-law volunteered to make a second to get the remaining things.) So--in the style of the Beverly Hillbillies--we loaded up and moved on out...2 pickups and an SUV. What lay ahead of us was almost a 2 hour trip to our new home. For Alisha's mother-in-law and I...we were looking at a mere 8 hours road time that day......
