Trip to Brothers House, New House, Bling, Night Visitors, Snow and Cold

 Saturday, I headed out to 

the other side of Nashville to 

help my older brother and my 

SIL, Lori, do some packing.

They are moving,

about 40 mins down the road.

They also have a 6000 sq foot

home that is full of a lot of 

stuff, antiques, collectibles, 

some of moms stuff, some of 

her mom and dads stuff, 

kids stuff.....

Stuff!

So as much as I felt 

like staying home and 

doing nothing, I went.

I pushed, but it was also

good for me to be moving.

I had good quality time

with both of them.

We also went to the 

new house.

It is beautiful.

But best of all, it's not 

20 some odd acres or even

the 40 some odd that they are moving

from this time. It is a total of 

eight some odd acres of land.

So much more doable.

New build, not like the one

he is leaving, that once upon 

a time, years ago, he and his

son gutted and rebuilt.

I love it.

Great entrance with a 

pretty light and great

bling.

If you can't really see 

the bling, then look in the pic

below.

Me and bling.

Oh, and yes, bling on its

own.

Before I show pics of inside,

let's talk about my time 

helping to pack.

We got a lot done, BUT

there is so much more

to do. Lori and I were busting

butt. What we ended up doing is

packing in bins, loading that up 

and going to the new house and

unpacking. Nice way of moving.

Lots of up and down, floor sitting, 

bending, climbing, walking, 

standing, lifting, and 

whatever else!

My body is yelling at me.

Plus, I slept on the couch

and did not sleep well.

I am tired.

After our run to the new house,

Ray, Lori and I went

out for dinner. Once we got home,

we did some more packing. 

When I finally was able to 

fall off the sleep it 

was past 12:30, but I had

great company.

Oakley below 

laid at my feet all night.

Shadow below, snuggled

beside me. 

As I was about to doze off

Buttons, no pic, another

cat, tucked herself behind my

knees like Lily does.

However, I guess my flipping

and flopping made 

Buttons get up and leave 

me. Well into the wee hours

of the morn, Marshall, other

dog joined Oakley on the floor

at my feet. 

 

Once we woke Sunday morning.

it had rained earlier and then

it started to snow.

Marshall went out with me 

later to take some pics.

He loves the snow.

After this last shot I went

in, Marshall was digging 

in the yard and not minding, 

but only after he jumped 

in the pond. 

Snowing and colder

than a witches ti......

or maybe I should say a

well diggers as....

never mind, but anyway, 

that cold and the silly

dog jumped in the water.

Lori and I did more packing,

Ray ran to Lowes for a heavy

duty dollie. 

Later, we loaded up the truck

and went to unload at 

the new house. Lunch, 

then back to the house 

where I loaded up somethings

they were giving me and I 

drove home in the freezing temps.

CRAP it is cold.

It was 27 on the way 

home, but a really 

cold 27 with the 

wind blowing. Low

of 11 at 4am.

Water dripping time, 

cabinet doors open and 

me in heavy pjs and 

warm socks!
