Moving Eleanor

Eleanor is 94 this year and she's make the move from her independant cottage living to a studio apartment on the retirement home campus. My mom went over Friday and helped get the small items packed into boxes and then moved most of the boxes to the studio.

Saturday, the rest of the clan joined Mom and moved the remaining boxes and large furniture items to the studio. It was hot, muggy work made even more pleasurable by the need to unbox all the boxes, arrange all the furniture and knick-knacs, hang all the pictures, organize the new, smaller living space, clean kitchen and bath, make beds, glue broken items, and help Eleanor come to terms with the need to part with furniture that we could simply not squeeze in the new space.

But when all was said and done, we left her completely settled in her new space with only her thoughts to rearrange.
