Saturday with Jay

Many many thanks go out to Jay for stopping by bright and early to help us unload our 2nd POD.  I know my kids were equally excited as he had two of his children in tow.  (Barb, his wife, is the youth leader in Belize.)  His oldest was working a car wash for boy scouts.  

Jay is a good hard worker.  He stayed with us for 3 hours.  We were able to accomplish a lot.  Thankfully is a strong man as we had some very heavy pieces that needed moving.  (Where are those 20 something brothers of ours?)  All but one piece is where it needs to be.  We are in need of the young abled bodied individuals from our family.  

Jay and Bill have known each other for over 20 years.  He was a groomsman in our wedding.  And Bill in his.  They went to college together.  The ties are deep and long.   Ever so grateful for such wonderful friends.  Now I am not saying our other friends are not wonderful, because they are.  Due to the holiday weekend and bodies with alignments they were unable to help.  

In the evening, about dinner time, my parents, Aunt Dee, and niece Jaide all stopped by.  They wanted to see the house plus give us a dolly for moving the big piece as well as the other PODS showing up later this week.   It was great to see them and spend a few hours together.  My parents just celebrated their 30th anniversay by going to Nova Scotia last weekend.  They really enjoyed themselves and spoke highly of the place.  This make about 5 locations they have visited in our neighbors to the North.
