We arrived in Door County on Monday without any problems. The weather was fantastic with a high of 48 degrees and partly sunny. When I arrived after John and the U-Haul, he had already taken a break. He had been sitting with his mother and talking as they waited for me. That worked out perfectly.
When we had put all the items in the UHaul, there were snow on them. Mercer was cold. Now it had all melted and our mattress was a little wet. It would have been worse if I hadn't put a waterproof mattress pad on it. We moved it upstairs onto our bed for the next 4.5 months. That was the hardest work of the day.
The rest of the items came off the truck very easily and slid down the ramp with little to no effort. They are now in the barn waiting for the snow to fly. We took the U-Haul back a day early and that went smoothly too.
It took the next two days to unload, unpack and get settled in the house. Denny had been buying a lot of groceries in anticipation of our move here. John and I had told her that we would be bringing a lot since we didn't want her to buy everything, but she didn't want that. So we had the refrigerator crammed full of food and the pantry is 3 layers thick on every shelf. Oh well. We're done unpacking at least.
John and his mom had to go to a funeral today. They won't be back until tomorrow morning. So I sewed for hours, then took the dogs for a walk, then sewed some more. I have Christmas presents to do.
Denny, my mother-in-law, took John and I out to breakfast at the White Gull Inn to celebrate our move to Door County. Their breakfast won the "Best Breakfast of America" award with their Door County cherry stuffed French toast. So we all had that and I can tell you it was perfect.
After breakfast we stopped at a few shops. One was a pet store and the lady and I started talking. After petting her pet potbelly pig for awhile, and talking some more, I am now going to start sewing dog coats for sale in her store. I have lots of ideas and will get started very soon. I'm excited about that.
The snow is falling and I am going to start a fire in the fireplace, sit down with the dogs at my feet and relax. I am going to love it here.
