Our stuff arrives

Leon from Lake Chapala Moving called and said our moving trailer would arrive at noon on October 29. We were amazed when Harold looked out our window at 11:45 and saw a Rodeway trailer on the boulevard near our house. Sure enough, it was our stuff!
When the trailer arrived, the first problem we had was that there was a seal on the door and we had no way to remove it. We had arranged with the guys on the construction job behind our house to help unload. They returned to their jobsite to get bolt cutters and opened the seal.
Between those two guys, the truck driver, his wife and 3-year-old son, Harold and I we got the trailer unloaded in less than an hour. We were then left with a mountain of boxes, bundles and tubs! Since then, we have been slowly but surely sorting things and finding homes for them.
Some of the things went directly to the bodega (storage building). Christmas things and winter clothes won’t be needed for a while! There was some damage on the things in the trailer, so we have also been making a list of that.
It is great to have our things here, but seems like it will take forever to get it all organized. Poco a poco!
